London Dry Gin category, together with only Tanqueray 10 and Finsbury Platinum. The I.W.S.C. Chair Judge's Angela Reddin comments were 'Clean pure silver white spirit. The nose has an intricate complexity, high toned key notes of dried flowers with a firm core of juniper, coriander seed and citrus zest. Full flavoured and wonderfully aromatic delivered with a surprising delicacy and smoothness, the floralmeadow flower complexity kicks back on the finish. Clean, generous and very precise, a very well made spirit indeed'.
