The nose gushes with fresh blood orange as does both the palate and finish. The juniper adds a nice balance throughout. I found the backend a tad harsh straight, but it could be easily masked in any cocktail. My only complaint is that the big juicy notes could be limiting if you are wanting use it for cocktails.

Clear in appearance, the gin has a heavy citrus nose of blood orange with notes of juniper. On the pallet the gin is bright with the botanicals supporting the citrus flavor rather than overpowering it. Well done.
Decent, but doesn't quite nail it for me. Also compared to for example Tanqueray Sevilla, which has orange flavours as well, this tastes harsher and more artificial in my opinion.
Nose: orange, acetone, aniseed, mint? Palate: sweet and citrusy, like orange syrup Finish: sweet, some warming spices Tasty, especially on palate and finish
