Gordon's Morello Cherry Gin joins the Gordon's collection at 37.5% ABV with natural cherry flavours and a subtle juniper finish. Morello cherry brings a darker, tangier fruit identity than sweet dessert cherry, giving the gin a richer red-fruit direction while preserving a recognisable gin backbone.

The aroma opens on deep cherry, with a tart edge that keeps the fruit lively. Juniper sits behind it as a dry botanical note rather than competing with the fruit. This contrast gives the gin a clear rhythm: ripe cherry first, then a more classic, lightly resinous finish.

The palate follows the same line, balancing generous fruit with a cleaner close. It is not a substitute for a cherry liqueur; tonic and ice bring out its fresher side, while the juniper finish keeps the drink connected to the Gordon's family.

Serve over clear ice with Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water, a fresh cherry and a strip of orange peel. Orange brings a lively citrus lift to the dark cherry, while a neutral Indian tonic preserves the gin's balance instead of adding another dominant fruit flavour.

Serve it before rich dishes or alongside a simple plate of charcuterie, when tangy cherry and orange notes can act as an aperitif rather than a sweet conclusion. One cherry and a little orange oil are enough to make the profile inviting while preserving the gin's dry close.

Give the drink a moment after building it. The cold dilution draws the citrus fragrance above the cherry, while the juniper becomes clearer at the end of the sip.
