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
"Classic London dry gin opening aromas of citrus, juniper and cardamom--pretty and inviting. First taste reveals a candied grapefruit peel tang, along with the sapidity of anise and angelica. There's a highly perfumed quality on the palate, like orange flower water and flowering lemon. Very pretty, persistent and an expert broadening of the London dry gin palette."
