Tasting Notes
"Botanicals are not incredibly intense here. Maybe some celery seed to go along with the juniper which is of medium intensity. The gin feels soft and light on your palate even on the finish, though there is a small punch of juniper present. Caraway is weak, but there. Slightly bitter on the finish. A pleasant gin, but one that is fleeting on both your taste-buds and memory. A gin and tonic is a good way to go, but go light on the tonic."
