Samsara The Secret Orchard Coffee & Hazelnut Gin 75cl

Coffee and hazelnut in gin sounds like a dare, right? Good. This is the bottle for anyone who thinks their gin shelf could use a little mischief. Samsara The Secret Orchard Coffee & Hazelnut Gin leans into roasted, nutty flavour without losing the point of gin: that fresh botanical lift that keeps each sip lively instead of heavy.

If your usual G&T is starting to feel like background music, this turns the volume up. The coffee brings a dark, roasted edge, the hazelnut adds toasted warmth, and the gin base keeps it crisp enough to mix properly. It’s not trying to be dessert in disguise. It’s more like your favourite espresso met a proper gin and decided to behave badly.

• Nose: Freshly roasted coffee, toasted hazelnut, a little citrus peel, and that clean juniper snap underneath.
• Taste: Nutty and aromatic up front, with coffee bitterness, gentle spice, and botanical freshness keeping things balanced.
• Finish: Lingering hazelnut, roasted coffee, and a dry gin-style lift that makes you want another sip.

Try it with a plain tonic and an orange twist if you want the coffee and hazelnut to pop. Feeling more adventurous? Swap it into a Negroni for a darker, nuttier version, or shake it with lemon and a touch of syrup for a coffee-kissed gin sour.

This is a great next step if you already like flavoured gin but want something with more grown-up depth than berries and candy-shop fruit. It’s also a fun curveball for coffee lovers who don’t normally reach for gin. Low effort, big reaction. We like those odds.

Fun Fact: Hazelnut and coffee are a classic flavour match because roasted hazelnut naturally echoes the nutty, cocoa-like notes found in coffee, which is why this gin feels oddly familiar even before the first proper sip.
