Description

This Ampersand Mango Chilli expression comes from Osborne, the storied Spanish house, and trades restraint for a bit of fun. Juniper provides the gin backbone while carefully chosen mango and chilli set the tone, the sweet tropical fruit balanced against a gentle capsicum heat. The spice is kept deliberately mild, present enough to intrigue but never enough to overwhelm the fruit.

The nose is mango with a flicker of chilli. The palate follows through with ripe, juicy mango and a subtle, building warmth, leading to a long finish. At 37.5% it sits softly on the tongue, made for mixing: pour over ice with tonic, or a lime-and-lemon soda, where the mango sweetness and that surprise of chilli come into balance. Garnish with a wheel of lime.
