Aureus Vita, Fibonacci Dry Gin
Aureus Vita is a small-batch gin built around a single idea: proportion. Created by a chemist, it uses the Fibonacci-Hall Method, in which the golden ratio (1.618) determines the balance of botanicals and each stage of distillation. The gin is distilled just once a year, with no blending between batches, so every release reflects the character of that season's botanicals. The result is one annual edition — a precise, measured gin rather than a complex or heavily flavored one.

Oily texture, black pepper, summer pudding
Finish
Berry compote, orange peel, lingering warmth
The aromas of this gin jump boldly straight out of the glass with a big first hit of unmistakable juniper arriving first, followed by baobab, which reads like orange and grapefruit oil. The nose evolves with hedgerow fruits, greenness, and some earthy qualities coming through – like walking past a heady hedgerow on a balmy summer's evening. The palate handles the notably high ABV of this gin exceptionally well, and those aromas are turned up in volume on the palate, alongside some warming spices and some tingling pepper, too. The texture is super oily and waxy, which carries darker fruits and morphs the citrus oil into the peel. An especially bold and big gin that packs flavour into every corner of your palate.
