The Cotswolds Distillery's Wildflower No.1 Gin captures the essence of an English summer meadow in a bottle. This delightful gin, crafted with care in the heart of the Cotswolds, offers a unique and refreshing taste experience.

Aromatic Adventure: A Walk Through a Wildflower Meadow

On the nose, the Wildflower No.1 Gin presents a captivating bouquet. Delicate floral notes, reminiscent of lavender and chamomile, weave their way through the juniper backbone, a defining characteristic of any good gin. Hints of citrus, particularly sweet orange zest, add a touch of vibrancy and intrigue. The overall impression is one of freshness and harmony, like a gentle summer breeze wafting through a field of wildflowers.

Tasting Journey: Where Floral Delights Meet Zest

The first sip of the Wildflower No.1 Gin is a revelation. The juniper asserts itself initially, providing a familiar foundation. However, it quickly gives way to a wave of floral character. Delicate lavender mingles with sweet orange, creating a delightful dance on the palate. Subtle hints of earthy angelica root peek through, adding a touch of complexity. The citrus notes resurface on the mid-palate, offering a burst of refreshing zestiness.

A Balanced Finish: Refreshingly Dry with a Lingering Touch

The finish of the Wildflower No.1 Gin is refreshingly dry, ensuring a clean and lingering aftertaste. The juniper returns subtly, reminding you of the gin's classic heritage. However, the floral and citrus notes leave a lasting impression, like a warm summer day etched in memory.
