This has a berry aroma coupled with the floral spice of pink peppercorn. The strong citrus punch provided by the Buddhas Hand gives the gin a burst of summer flavours almost reminiscent of eating fresh berries & citrus fruit on a hot summers day. Buddhas Hand is an unusual botanical in fact, we only know of 2 other gins that have used this in the past, the fruit is shaped like a yellow octopus & it does not have any flesh, only zest, which is used to give the gin an aromatic lemon-blossom flavour it is also a much sweeter version of the standard lemon. With all good gin, it is Juniper forward on the palate, the sweet tang of raspberry at the forefront, followed by a brief herbaceous twist. This then gives way to the subtle spice of pepper & the warming pine of juniper. The sweet citrus of Buddhas Hand comes in the for the finale, cleansing the palate for the next punchy sip.
