Modern GinAlso has been referred to as "Contemporary", "New Western", "New Wave", and "New American". This style is not legally defined. In general, this category of gin, while it does contain juniper, places less of an emphasis on this botanical. Other botanicals not classically used in London Dry gins are often utilized and often highlight botanicals grown in the region the gin is produced. Most produced as either London Dry or Distilled Gins.
Tasting Notes
"The nose is exceptionally floral, with some pine aromas mixing with a hint of grapefruit and lime. The palate is quite dry and assertively floral, with hints of spice, herbaceousness, bitter citrus, and spicy ginger. The strong florality would make this a tough base for a neat sipper, or even a traditional Martini. However, because of its lack of sugar, the gin would make a good base for a drier style of gin and tonic, or a more floral variation of a sour such as a Bees Knees. "
