Tasting Notes
"Juniper is present and accounted for, but there is also an underlying straw and medicinal aroma (perhaps some anise?). The gin is harsh going down and has a bittersweet orange finish. The botanicals don't really stick around long except for the orange. This is a serviceable gin, but a fine cocktail is not what is prescribed here; best to pour into some punch or just serve with seltzer."
