The label on the back says it best: "Handcrafted Italian Gin obtained by a sunny infusion of Juniper, Pink Grapefruit, and citrus fruits that recall the vitality of the orange grove. A sip of good mood." This is Poli distillery's newest (2023) gin offering and is the second best gin I've ever tried, behind the Marconi 42. Really, the Marconi 44 is just as good but the 42 has a flavor profile I usually prefer. Skip the Marconi 46, it's very average.35.0 EUR per BottlePoli Distillerie

This one is a bit slow. I recommend at least two glasses before making a judgement. After the first bite, it comes across very young and light. Sure, there's peat and smoke but also vanilla and orange. But there really does seem to be new depths with each sip and the vanilla and smoke seem to give way to citrus fruits and a more complex, buttery cream. I started my glass giving it a 3.25 and finished giving it a 3.75. Then i had another glass and wondered if even a 4.25 was warranted? I'll split the difference at 3.75 but you may easily find this a 4+ if you give it a long taste.65.0 USD per BottleNice France

Reviewed November 23, 2022 (edited November 25, 2022)Full and even throughout. A little smoky and peaty on the nose and to start. Smooth and balanced throughout with a little bit of spice showing up towards the end. -
Lagavulin 8 Year
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed November 20, 2022 (edited February 15, 2024)Smoky and smooth but more subtle than other Islay scotchs. Fruity at first with plenty of pear sweetness staying smooth until the finish where more of the spiciness comes out and the hint of smoke blossoms in to something stronger.
