WILDERER FYNBOS GIN

TASTING NOTES:

Nose: Wilderer Fynbos Gin 1L is overwhelmingly medicinal to the nose, with the fynbos bringing floral undertones and anise qualities not dissimilar to off-brand cough medicine. Despite its exotic makeup, there is something oddly familiar about the smell; a hint of orris, perhaps, and the vague sense of a rapeseed meadow on a warm spring day.

Palate: The aniseed aspect comes across stronger. It reminds us of those thick, chewy liquorice sweets, something akin to a Fisherman’s Friend, but the citrus notes prevent it from becoming full-blown.

Finish: It’s richly herbal and definitely savoury, with a hint of fresh spice that leaves behind that familiar fynbos led aftertaste (think floral and a touch of eucalyptus).
