About Hibiscus

Hibiscus is vivid, tensile, and expressive. It can lend a floral-fruit character that feels bright rather than sweet, often sharpening the outline of a gin with a slightly tart edge. In the right balance, it adds energy and colour to the flavour profile while preserving clarity and freshness.
