About Cardamom

Cardamom is one of gin’s most expressive spice botanicals. It brings a cool, resinous lift that can feel both bright and luxurious, sitting somewhere between citrus, eucalyptus, and sweet spice. In the right proportion, it sharpens the aromatic profile of a gin without overwhelming it, adding poise and complexity rather than heat.
