Tasting Notes
"Compared to the 80 proof version, the juniper is far less noticeable here, particularly on the aroma. Coriander takes that role. The gin is soft and watery on the palate and just a little oily. There's a short finish and this version is slightly less bitter than the higher proof. If given an option, opt for the higher proof. Overall, still a solid gin, but maybe pull back on the amount of tonic in your G & T. "
