Rather than attempting to bottle all four seasons, the distillery has chosen three, creating a trinity of flavour that cycles through spring's freshness, summer's radiance, and autumn's contemplative warmth. This approach allows each season proper expression rather than compressing them into confused mediocrity.

As you continue, the rose petals' gentle sweetness emerges, suggesting Turkish Delight and garden romance. The blackcurrant leaf provides backbone and subtle earthiness, preventing the gin from becoming overly floral or feminine.

Capable of extraordinary complexity, it straddles the line between bone-dry and lusciously sweet - a grape that expresses terroir with almost surgical precision. This Recent vintage from House of Decant captures that distinctive character - a wine that speaks clearly, without pretension or affectation.

There's no shouting here, no overripe theatricality. Instead, this wine draws you in through understatement - the kind of conversation you have with someone genuinely interesting.

Rather than following gin convention, the creators asked what would emerge if gin received serious cask treatment comparable to fine whisky or cognac maturation. The answer: a spirit of remarkable sophistication and depth. Hand-picked botanical absolutes provide the foundation, then the spirit rests for exactly 71 nights across three distinct oak cask types. This specific duration  -  neither arbitrary nor dictated by tradition  -  has been carefully determined to achieve optimal balance between botanical purity and wood influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose is immediately striking  -  vanilla warmth and wood smoke dominate, suggesting whisky rather than traditional gin. Yet beneath these darker notes, subtle botanical character persists  -  a reminder of gin's botanical foundations. Virgin oak contributes vanilla warmth and gentle spice, whilst sherry casks add complexity through sweet spice and dark chocolate aromatics. Cognac casks contribute depth through hints of pear and honey, creating a layered aromatic profile that rewards patient attention. The palate delivers remarkable evolution across three dimensions: initial vanilla and almond warmth from the virgin oak, followed by sweet spice and chocolate accents from the sherry casks, before Cognac cask influence contributes subtle fruit and honey depth. The finish is long and genuinely memorable  -  those wood smoke notes persisting alongside sweet spice warmth, creating an impression of luxury and carefully considered craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe distinctive amber hue reveals this spirit's nature immediately  -  this is gin transformed through wood maturation into something approaching fine whisky territory.

The wine displays salmon to pale red colouration with fine, persistent bubbles suggesting careful carbonation control.

Toast and brioche suggest lees contact and extended bottle age, adding considerable depth. There's a mineral, slightly earthy quality suggesting terroir expression and careful vineyard management.
