Honeybee Gin: A Nuanced Exploration on the Nose

The first encounter with Warner's Honeybee Gin is a captivating exploration of aromas. Sweet honey takes centre stage, but it's not a one-note performance. Delicate floral notes like lavender and rose peek through, hinting at the complex botanical tapestry within. Hints of citrus, particularly grapefruit, add a touch of zest that awakens the senses. Earthy undertones of juniper, a hallmark of gin, provide a grounding balance to the sweeter elements.

A Symphony of Flavours on the Palate

The initial sip of Warner's Honeybee Gin is a revelation. The creamy texture delivers a burst of flavour that mirrors the enticing aroma. Honey sweetness mingles beautifully with the floral character, with lavender and rose taking the forefront. The promised touch of grapefruit emerges, adding a refreshing zing that cuts through the richness. The juniper presence is subtle yet undeniable, providing a dry, earthy counterpoint that keeps the gin balanced.

As the flavours develop, other elements come into play. Hints of peppery spice add complexity, while elderflower's delicate sweetness provides a touch of elegance. The finish is smooth and enduring, with the honey lingering alongside the dry spice of juniper and the subtle floral character.

Crafted with Care: The Sustainable Ethos Behind Honeybee Gin
