Hawkridge London Dry Gin – Victorian Aphrodisiac Blend (70cl, 42%)

The folks at Hawkridge like to take inspiration from the Victorian era and the meanings of different flowers when selecting botanicals, and this gin certainly boasts a deliciously floral profile. The likes of meadowsweet, lemon verbena, rosemary, jasmine, lavender, rose petals, and honey are amongst the 13 botanicals that go into this Victorian Aphrodisiac Blend. We’ve seen in movies when people are trying to be romantic and scatter flower petals around the place. Always thought it must be a pain to clean up, but honey would be way worse.

Aromatic citrus oils and sweet orange blossom, plenty of perfumed florals, dried flowers, and crisp juniper, with a soft, silky hint of honey beneath.
