Jaffa Cake Gin 70cl

Jaffa Cake Gin

The jaffa cake is a timeless biscuity dessert, is it cake or is it biscuit? – the debate goes on! Jaffa Cake Gin is distilled with oranges, fresh orange peel, cocoa powder and jaffa cakes. Actual Jaffa cakes.

On the nose, Zingy orange (marmalade-esque) is swiftly overtaken by a rich and earthy chocolate undertone. Hints of vanilla-rich cake and just a touch of almondy-goodness. A solid backbone of juniper brings up the rear. The palate…Jaffa Cakes! Perhaps not surprising, but the resemblance is uncanny. Nice balance and great poise. The flavour never oversteps the mark – this is still resolutely ‘a gin’. Delicately sweet – not sickly or in any way liqueur-like. The orange-y palate fades into unctuous hot cocoa, and a note of bitter dark chocolate remains to the last, ably shored up by the piney tang from the juniper.
