Mrs Millicent Summereasy Gin (70cl)

Mrs Millicent Summereasy is a London dry gin from the Hungarian distillery Bestillo, and the second gin in its range. It uses the botanicals of the original Speakeasy recipe: juniper, cardamom, Tasmanian pepper, coriander, lavender, orange, bergamot and raspberry. Lemon, sea asparagus, kaffir lime leaves, nutmeg and tonka bean are added, and the citrus is pushed further by using the juice of orange, bergamot and lemon as well as the peel. The bottle is wrapped in a floral silk scarf. The nose is fresh and citrus-led, with bergamot and lemon to the fore. The palate is fresh and balanced, with cardamom, nutmeg, orange and bergamot, and the finish is lightly salty from the sea asparagus.
