Clean and dry, yet very slight sweetness with muscovado sugar, blue cheese, spiced apples, pears and notes of vanilla, caramel and a faint pinch of black pepper spice.
Characteristics of oak barrel staves with the essence of bourbon or brandy, a hint of smoke from the charring process, background notes of dried fruit and heavy delivery of sweet creamy butterscotch.
The aroma is rich with notes of tropical fruits, namely passion fruit, and creamy toffee. Sweet vanilla forms a creamy palate with notes of apples and mangoes with a hint of orange in the background. The finish lingers with a vanilla focussed character.
Gristy, supple nuttiness intertwined with spices. Honeyed sultanas and grapes. Hugely inviting. Sweet with good body. The bourbon characters develop; gentle spice with a little vanilla, a hint of balancing peat lurking quietly in the substrata. Dried fruit too, combining with nuts, nutmeg, cinnamon, back into the bourbon notes - so well integrated. Spicy, slightly drying, still sweet.
This amber gold whisky has been matured in a mix of sherry, American virgin oak, ex-bourbon casks and has an aroma of vanilla and toffee, candied citrus fruits, and dried fruit, all balanced with a gentle hint of clove.

Beefeater 24 is quite pleasant with sweet citrus, including notes of lemon rind and sweet lime that moves into a mid-palate with juniper. Though less juniper-forward, the juniper is still here and remains the gin s centerpiece. Long and dry, there s a grassy, vegetal note of warm green tea.
The fresh citrus flavours of blood orange tune perfectly with the classic notes of juniper and citrus of Beefeater Gin. The result is the bold, finely balanced, contemporary Beefeater Blood Orange.
The nose bears caramel notes with a delicate stone-fruit backdrop. A robust and sturdy palate with some fine leather notes mingling with dry tobacco, a touch of oak and a hint of dried cherries. The finish is smooth and calming.
