Sensory Description:

Leopold’s Summer Gin opens with bright and fragrant aromas of orange rind, cucumber skin, and green tea herbs, underpinned by a subtle whisper of juniper and pine resin. The palate delivers layers of complexity, beginning with fresh citrus, blood orange and pomelo, moving into an herbal, floral mid-palate of immortelle and lemon myrtle. Its texture is weighty yet smooth, with a dry, slightly spiced finish that lingers in refreshing harmony. A hint of coriander and cassia provides backbone without overwhelming the gins sunny, garden-inspired charm.
