One of the highlights of 2018, Dartmouth English Gin uses all the vernacular of traditional gin but lends it a contemporary edge. Expect the usual forest-like tones of juniper but here, it’s accentuated by kaffir lime leaves, rosemary and pine. There’s the customary levity from citrus that you expect from a classic gin too but softened by rose and lavender and brought to a peppery nip of a finish with a cunning use of grains of paradise.
