FLAVOUR PROFILE
Citrus. Floral. Refreshing.
Cuckoo Signature Gin is a complex gin. It has a smooth mouth feel to aid those who like to sip. After a slightly sweet, piney juniper start, the flavour then develops into citrus from orange, grapefruit and lemons. Also with a lingering taste of cinnamon spice and liquorice. Our Cuckoo Signature Gin is dry on the finish with a peppery kick from coriander seeds.

The vibrant flavours of citrus from oranges, grapefruits, and lemons intertwine harmoniously, creating a refreshing burst of zestiness. A citrus symphony of summer flavour.
Finish
The finish of this gin is dry, leaving a pleasant sensation, while the coriander seeds contribute a peppery kick that adds an extra layer of spice to the overall taste experience.
