Aromatic Allure

On the nose, Boë Violet Gin unfolds with a delightful symphony of floral notes. The essence of violets takes centre stage, offering a sweet and powdery perfume reminiscent of spring gardens. Hints of citrus peel peek through, adding a touch of brightness and balancing the floral intensity. Subtle whispers of juniper, a cornerstone of gin, linger in the background, providing a comforting familiarity.

A Taste of Spring

The palate explodes with a vibrant dance of flavours. The gentle sweetness of violets dominates the initial sip, immediately transporting you to a meadow in full bloom. Underlying juniper emerges, offering a dry, earthy counterpoint to the floral sweetness. As the gin develops, hints of crisp apple and lavender surface, adding further complexity. The citrus notes from the nose translate into a refreshing zestiness that lingers on the finish. Notably, Boë Violet Gin exhibits a touch of sweetness compared to traditional gins.
