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
"The aroma is akin to a spring garden after a morning rain, with a mix of sweet herbs, citrus, and delicate florals. Roasted agave and other vegetal notes lead the palate, along with a sharp evergreen and earthy jasmine green tea flavor profile. Unfortunately the citrus elements are a bit too strong. A classic gin this is not, especially since it's also quite viscous (the texture of Old Tom Gin rather than classic dry). It's still an interesting sipper, though it could stand to be a bit dialed down. Some tonic and ice would definitely help. "
