The Story
Black Veil is a study in contradiction — midnight-dark in appearance but luminously clean on the palate. Activated charcoal renders it dramatic without altering the delicate balance of gin and elderflower. It arrives looking like a secret and tastes like clarity.

Tasting Notes
How it unfolds
01
Clean and botanical on the nose. Gin and fresh cucumber.
02
Elderflower blooms mid-palate — soft, floral, precise.
03
Lemon brightens. The charcoal adds mineral depth.
04
Light, dry finish. Unexpectedly elegant for its appearance.
