2026's Vernal Gin opens with a soft, citrusy burst that's both zesty and herbaceous. The gin's crystal-clear appearance belies its complex character – while juniper provides the classic foundation, the lemon verbena weaves throughout with its distinctive lemony-mint fragrance that's more nuanced and floral than ordinary citrus peels. On the palate, it delivers a refreshing quality with notes of cut grass, lilac undertones, and a clean, soft finish that lingers with whispers of garden herbs and morning dew. Each sip evokes sun-drenched gardens and a shoreline breeze, making it a great choice for this summer's shaken cocktails and refreshing G&T’s.
