Tasting Notes: Crystal clear, showing good cling to the glass. Lifted juniper, spearmint and almond essence top notes with mixed citrus peel and star anise below. The palate is rich and oily, very soft, and delivers a moderate burst of the flavours offered by the nose before quietly and quickly vanishing. The spirit is clean, pure and faultless. This is a very well made, ‘soft and cuddly’ Gin, but one which lacks the punch and interest to be considered among the finest examples. 43% Alc./Vol.
Fifty Pounds is another entrant into the growing premium Gin category which came with a premium press release sure to make any lover of Gin salivate. Upon arrival a bottle was immediately opened for tasting.
