Liberator Gin is intriguing to the nose— especially as it suggests several botanicals which are not among those listed. Lots of spiky, candy red hot cinnamon is complemented by buoyant notes of pink peppercorn, Swedish cardamom buns, and subtle flat, wet juniper berry. It’s evocative and spice-forward. Sipped, hints of the several citrus fruits in Liberator Gin add a hint of sweetness early. Cardamom is particularly bold mid-palate. Then there’s a bit of orange zest dotted with cloves, stocky round cassia bark, and it finishes with a tangy hint of anise and licorice. The finish is incredibly long with oblong spice notes receding quietly on the edges of the palate. Liberator Gin is evocative and as powerfully flavored on the palate as it is on the nose.
