Late-harvest lemon, honey, toasted coconut and almonds shape Juno Autumn 2025 Seasonal Gin, distilled in New Zealand at 44% ABV on a juniper-led base. The combination takes a familiar citrus opening toward a richer, rounded middle, while the toasted and nutty elements give the finish a warmer register. It is an autumn recipe with a clear structure rather than a collection of unrelated dessert flavours.

Late-harvest lemon provides the first bright note, with a softer impression than a sharply green citrus peel. Honey adds a rounded sweetness, while toasted coconut contributes a warm, gently roasted quality. Almond brings a nutty accent that helps connect the fruit and toast. Juniper remains important: its resinous character keeps the gin recognisable and gives the sweeter ingredients a drier frame. The result is an aromatic balance between citrus freshness and a more substantial, softly textured centre.

The nose suggests lemon curd, honey and toasted coconut, with almond and juniper adding detail behind them.

The palate starts with citrus, then broadens into a creamy impression of honey and coconut; the nuttiness becomes more apparent toward the finish. The texture feels rounder than a classic dry gin, but the juniper helps keep the finish measured. At 44% ABV, the gin carries its flavours through dilution and works particularly well in a long drink that does not add heavy syrup. The Autumn 2025 release sits alongside the other seasonal Juno recipes as a distinct small-batch profile.

For a balanced gin and tonic, pour 4.5 cl over clear ice, add 12 cl Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water and garnish with a thin lemon wheel and one toasted coconut flake. The tonic's quinine and citrus keep the honeyed centre from becoming cloying, while the lemon makes the nose feel brighter. A single flake is enough; a pile of coconut would turn the drink into a dessert-style serve. Stir gently once and taste before adding anything else. The gin can also be enjoyed over a large cube, where the lemon, honey and toasted notes unfold more slowly.
