A Regal Presentation

Aromatic Majesty: Unveiling the Essence

Pour yourself a generous measure of the Coronation Gin and prepare to be captivated by its enticing bouquet. The juniper, the cornerstone of any great gin, forms a solid foundation. However, it doesn t dominate. Instead, it gracefully integrates with a symphony of citrus and floral notes. Zesty lemon peel infuses the gin with a delightful freshness, while fragrant rose adds a touch of elegance and complexity. Hints of other botanicals linger in the background, creating a truly captivating and well-rounded aroma.

The Royal Taste: A Celebration on the Palate

The first sip of the Wessex Distillery Coronation Gin is a revelation. The juniper asserts itself gently, providing a warming base. The citrus notes, particularly the lemon peel, come alive, dancing on the tongue with a burst of zesty freshness. The floral influence of the rose emerges mid-palate, adding a subtle sweetness and a touch of perfumed complexity. The overall flavour profile is remarkably balanced, with no single botanical overpowering the others. The gin is smooth and luxurious, leaving a long-lasting impression on the palate.

A Finish Fit for Royalty

The finish of the Coronation Gin is as impressive as its introduction. The juniper fades gracefully, leaving behind a lingering sweetness from the rose and a touch of zesty citrus. The overall impression is one of elegance and refinement, a perfect reflection of its royal namesake.
