WHAT IT'S LIKE
It's significantly more delicate and complex than the traditional red counterpart. And while 'delicate and complex' are not necessarily welcome qualities when it comes to - for example - cars or aeroplanes, there's nothing wrong with them when it comes to cocktails.
JAMES' TASTING NOTES
A traditional Negroni hits you with upfront bitterness and sweetness but this offers a more nuanced, layered experience. It's still bitter, but with a lighter, more floral quality. It works particularly well with London Drizzle with its lemon and grapefruit notes.

London Drizzle
Gin wird traditionell als „London Dry“ bezeichnet – aber ich lebe dort, und normalerweise ist es nicht trocken. Also wollte ich einen Gin herstellen, der an diesen einzigartigen Petrichor-Geruch erinnert, der entsteht, wenn an einem warmen Tag leichter Regen auf den Asphalt trifft. Ich habe noch nie jemanden getroffen, der diesen Geruch nicht mag.
