GINSTR

Aroma: Fragrant juniper, citrus, coriander, rosemary, a floral note (maybe lavender?) and an earthy background aroma (licorice?). It’s a good gin nose. Taste & Texture: Pleasant arrival with lots of flavour and intensity. Juniper, rosemary and coriander are obvious and there is a more subtle supporting presence of licorice and floral notes. The distillation was well handled with excellent extraction of the botanicals. The texture is oily and full. This is a well-made and balanced gin with distinct presence, but it’s not a sledgehammer. There is complexity and enough weight for the profile to show through clearly in mixed drinks. It made a very good G&T and I think it would also make an interesting negroni. It apparently has a huge number of botanicals in the recipe, which seems to be a German thing. Recommend, but I don’t know if it is available outside Germany. “Very Good” : 85/100 (4 stars)

excellent gin, good citrus notes but not overpowering. outstanding G&Ts. unfortunately I believe it's only available in Germany at the moment
