This striking gin is built on a foundation of 12 carefully selected botanicals including juniper, coriander, nutmeg, cardamom, lemon peel, orange peel, orris root, and cinnamon. The natural black colour comes from aronia berry, butterfly pea flower, saffron, sweet potato, and pineapple, ingredients that also contribute distinct flavour dimensions beyond their visual drama. The result is a full-bodied gin that balances classic London Dry structure with unexpected exotic notes.

Nose: Aromatic juniper leads, followed by warm spice notes of cinnamon and cardamom, with subtle citrus peel brightening the bouquet.

Palate: Full-bodied and luxurious with a velvety mouthfeel. Candied sweet potato sweetness emerges alongside tropical pineapple notes, creating an unexpected but harmonious flavour profile. The botanical selection remains in beautiful balance, with none overpowering the others.

Finish: Smooth and chilling, with lingering sweet spice and a gentle tropical warmth that extends the experience.

Scapegrace Confession Bx shines brightest in cocktails where its colour transformation becomes theatre. A classic gin and tonic becomes a visual spectacle as the liquid shifts from black to bright pink, while a Negroni takes on intriguing depth with the sweet potato and pineapple notes complementing vermouth and Campari. Aviation cocktails and French 75s benefit from both the colour play and the full-bodied texture.

This is gin for adventurous cocktail enthusiasts who appreciate craft and conversation starters in equal measure. Home bartenders seeking something genuinely unique and gin collectors drawn to innovation will find Scapegrace Confession Bx delivers substance alongside its undeniable visual impact. The mild botanical profile makes it particularly approachable for those newer to gin, though seasoned enthusiasts will appreciate the technical skill behind its balance.

A standout choice for the gin lover who values creativity and craftsmanship in every pour.
