Tasting notes

Velvety liquorice and soft anise drift across the palate in gentle waves, before a bright citrus edge sharpens the finish. Deeply aromatic, beautifully balanced and impossible to rush.

Try it

Blue, until it isn't.

Azure gets its colour from butterfly pea flowers. Top it with soda and it stays blue, just lighter. Add a squeeze of lemon and it turns pink. Tonic turns it pink straight away.

Field notes

Signature botanical

Butterfly pea

Clitoria ternatea

A climbing vine with deep blue flowers. They change colour when they meet something acidic, which is why lemon or tonic turns Azure pink, while soda leaves it blue.

Signature botanical

Liquorice

Glycyrrhiza glabra

The sweet root of a plant from southern Europe and western Asia. It gives Azure its velvety depth and soft anise.

In every gin

Juniper

Juniperus communis

Juniper is in every bottle, as it should be. The signature botanicals on each label are what make each gin its own, so Classic tastes nothing like Verdant.
