About Apricot Kernel

Apricot kernel is less about obvious fruit flavour and more about texture, body, and quiet complexity. Used carefully, it can soften the edges of a spirit and bring a gentle warmth that feels almost almond-like or stonefruit-adjacent. In gin, it helps create a more rounded mouthfeel and adds depth without becoming showy.
