Reviewed September 23, 2019 (edited May 26, 2023)Pineapple, apples, and ginger stand out on the nose.

Geometric Gin
London Dry Gin — Western Cape, South Africa
Reviewed June 7, 2019 (edited July 20, 2019)Lemon forward on the nose, with cardamon also taking a leading role on the nose and palate. Otherwise, the juniper is hardly noticeable and is overall not very complex. Finish is clean, with slightly minty aftertaste. Worth a try, but will not feature as a regular in my gin collection.50.0 CAD per Bottle -

Springbank 10 Year
