Gin MG

Nose: Ethanol, juniper. No complexity at all. Palate: Light arrival, almost watery in texture, with juniper on show but very little else. There is a sweet and lightly peppery quality throughout the palate. Finish: Fast. Sweet pepper fades to sweet ethanol. I bought this on a whim today and I’ll never buy it again. The whole profile is understated to the point of boredom and insipidity. I suppose you could call it exceptionally subtle and uncluttered by aroma or flavour if you wanted to be generous, but for me it comes across as a mildly juniper-spiced vodka and nothing more. Useless in a negroni, flaccid in a gin and tonic. Sorry, I like my gin to speak clearly and with wit, this just mumbles doggerel. “Inferior” : 69/100 (1.75 stars)

Great gin as an alternative to Beefeater or Gordon’s. Citrus notes, good flavor composition. My pick for a good gin-tonic.
