Dillon's Dry Gin 7

On the nose, juniper up front, then a strong whiff of neutral ethanol, which gives way to faint lemon peel, coriander, and orris. Creamy mouthfeel. More juniper and noticeable ethanol on the palate, plus more lemon peel and coriander, then some cardamom on the finish. A little bit of heat on the medium-length finish, but not too bad. A shame – without the strong chemical ethanol note, it would be a decent gin. 2.25/5.00 – Mediocre (neat)

Raw/young. Sharp pine needles and a scattering of flower petals. The rye and higher ABV come through harsh and prevent it from being enjoyable, even when mixed. Nothing close to the soft lusciousness of the 22 Unfiltered. $40 in Ontario.
