Benham's Sonoma Dry Gin

Citrus, mint, chamomile and exotic spices

Late summer G&T

Very nice California gin. Unique, pleasant and smooth. Botanical mix is nice, but not quite world class. I'd like a bit more juniper.

Very floral and herbaceous but not overpowering. Very nice and fantastic in a GT

I picked this up at my local package store a while ago. It was on clearance for around $20 and I took a chance. This is a very unique Gin because when I opened the bottle I smelled mint and I was not ready for it. I did smell other Gin herbs but the mint caught me off guard. Overall, it is not a bad Gin but it did not make a very good Gin and Tonic because the mint and lime did not play well together. However, it did make a surprisingly good Martini and the mint made the drink quite refreshing. Since I have purchased this bottle I have finished a bottle of Citadelle Gin and opened a bottle of Roku Gin. I believe this is a novelty Gin but it does have a cool look to it.
