Tastes

Juniper forward om the nose. I do get a sense of other botanicals, but nothing coming out in just the scent for me. But the first sip changes that immediately. I get the tea, I get citrus--lemon and orange peel. The alcohol remains in the background. Adding water subdues the juniper and citrus bringing the black tea forward. Ice evens it all out and it sings with some tonic. I can see why people get really excited about this gin. I look forward to playing with it in a variety of cocktails.

Straight juniper on the nose. Very thin body. The alcohol stingd the lips, but not the tongue. Some light floral on the tongue, but mostly it's straightforward in it's juniper flavors. Very clean finish. The pine opens up with a little water. Over ice, the spirit becomes even brighter with a hint of citrus. Overall it fades when adding tonic, but overall it's definitely a good dry gin to make cocktails with or sip on.
