Hayman's London Dry Gin, 70cl
Hayman’s London dry was launched in 2008 and is the brand’s shot at the classic dry gin style. Ten botanicals are used, as with all Hayman's gins, and strong notes of crystallised lemon and orange peel paired with lavender are the first scents you’ll smell. dry orris root is the first flavour you’ll taste alongside pine and juniper as well as zesty lime. The aftertaste is bitter with the juniper still lingering.
