There are seven botanicals in achroous. It doesn't need more than that. the first five are the backbone. they're what make it a proper, lip-smacking gin, with all the delicious bitterness and body that entails. The last two are the wildcards. They bring their own unique quirks to the aroma and flavour of the spirit, transforming it into something pretty phenomenal.

Aroma: A big, wafting nose, especially once you've added tonic. The sichuan peppercorns bring a huge, floral spice, while the fennel adds a grassy, herbaceous hint of anis.

Palate: First and foremost, a big whack of juniper. From there, there's a woody, musty quality from the root botanicals, a gentle sweetness from the fennel seed, and a fragrant, earthy citrus from the peppercorns.

Finish: Lip-smacking, resinous bitterness, laced with warm, delicate notes of spice and sweet anis.

The wheat spirit and three root botanicals create a solid foundation for this well balanced gin where the Sichuan sits comfortably alongside the Juniper, coriander seed and fennel seed without being overbearing. Don't let the loud bottle fool you, this is an integrated and elevated Gin.
