Tasting notes
Mary Rose Gin is a juniper heavy London Dry Gin with subtle notes of grapefruit and rosemary for a soft finish. It’s carefully distilled in small batches in a copper pot-still and retains a higher essential oil content than most gins which gives it a richness and ensures it’s smooth on the palate.

About this gin
