Imperial Measures Ounce Bold Gin (700ml)

Tasting note: Juniper, peppercorns and blood orange on the nose followed by weighty juniper accented flavours leading into a savoury, herb and pepper-laced finish. Nicely integrated gin for vibrant Martinis. 30ml sample. 47% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... 'Bold' is the crown jewel in Imperial Measures' gin portfolio, delivering robust, full and resplendent juniper throughout. Careful selection of spices and green herbs all elevate this intense pine, along with a higher abv to carry the oils. The nose is a crystal clear snapshot of freshly crushed juniper and savoury alpine notes, creating an enticing, lifted aroma. The palate then descends into far denser, oilier characteristics, with intense dry spice, provincial herb and almost a hint of smoke. Not for the faint of heart, this gin is what it says it is: bold. The intensity of it only builds before crescendoing into a lean olive flavour that both coats the finish but also delivers a hit of salt to coax another sip. Each time tasting this gin, new flavours present themselves and the complexity grows. 97 points - Jess Clayfield, winecompanion.com

Lovely juniper forward spirit, slightly resinous, with a hint of carraway and lemon peel, as well as a whisper of mint and cucumber. Nicely balanced overall. Gold Medal - World Gin Awards 2019
