Tasting Notes

"There’s decent complexity in this gin but it’s buried under a thick crust of ethanol. The big notes on the nose are crushed juniper and black pepper, afterwards you get oily scents of vanilla and flower petals. There is licorice, crushed coriander, more vanilla and juniper on the palate but the flavors are weak and fairly muddled. A little more concentration would go a long way here. "
