Question 1

What does Forest Gin taste like?

Accepted Answer

Forest Gin is characterised by Mossy, Fresh Fruit, Leafy notes. Forest Gin draws on foraged botanicals from its Cheshire distillery—wild berries, moss, fern, and flowers—combined with classic gin botanicals including juniper, coriander, and vanilla. The result is a herbaceous, layered spirit that bridges wildness and tradition, with earthy and floral elements supporting the juniper backbone. Presented in a Wade Ceramics decanter, the recommended serve with rosemary, grapefruit, and tonic emphasizes its fresh, botanical character. Best appreciated by those seeking gin beyond standard juniper-forward profiles.
