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
"With the amount of botanicals used, it's difficult to stand out but cinnamon and juniper do as does the grain base note. Warm spices make up the mid-palate and the cornichon flavor comes through at the finish. Fun and worth the purchase if you're a fan of pickled things!"
