Deco No.22 Small Batch Artisan Gin Export Strength is produced in England by Deco Spirits. The expression is positioned as an export strength variant with an alcohol level of 46% ABV, which places it above standard London Dry bottlings without reaching the historical 57% Navy Strength benchmark. The gin is distilled in limited batches and relies on a classic botanical structure built around juniper, coriander, citrus peel, angelica, liquorice, cassia and orris root. The brand does not disclose the complete list of supporting botanicals, indicating that its aromatic identity is partly defined by a proprietary blend.

On the nose, Deco No.22 presents a clear juniper profile supported by a dry citrus note that leans towards traditional peel rather than fruit expression. Subtle herbal facets of angelica and coriander provide structure, while cassia introduces a light spice tone without dominating the aromatic balance. Liquorice contributes a smoothness that tempers the dryness of the citrus-led profile.

On the palate, the gin remains juniper centred with a firm dry signature. The citrus component is present but not expressively sweet, aligning with a classic London Dry sensibility. Orris root contributes weight to the texture, while cassia and liquorice reiterate a restrained spice impression. The 46% alcohol content offers definition and length without producing excessive heat.

The finish is moderately persistent, with a return of citrus peel, botanical dryness and faint notes of woodland spice. Deco No.22 can be served in a gin and tonic with minimal garnish to avoid masking its linear style, typically a simple citrus twist. It also adapts to classic stirred preparations such as a Dry Martini where its dry profile and elevated ABV contribute precision and clarity.
