A Feast for the Senses: Aroma & Appearance

On the nose, Unicorn Tears Gin Liqueur offers an intriguing interplay of botanicals. The juniper, a quintessential gin characteristic, is present but not overpowering.

Hints of fresh mint add a touch of intrigue, while coriander and licorice root lend a subtle earthiness that completes the aromatic profile.

A Symphony of Flavours on the Palate

The first sip of Unicorn Tears Gin Liqueur is an explosion of taste. The juniper takes centre stage, offering a familiar warmth that is quickly balanced by the sweetness of candied orange. This bittersweet interplay is further complemented by subtle yet delightful hints of maple syrup, leaving a lingering sweetness on the palate.

As you savour the liqueur, the botanical symphony continues to unfold. The initial burst of citrus gives way to refreshing notes of fresh mint, offering a welcome coolness. The subtle earthiness of coriander and licorice root lingers in the background, adding complexity and depth to the overall flavour profile.
