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
"Unlike the subtle rose flavors in the classic Hendrick's Gin expression, the floral notes here rates a 10 out of 10. And yes, roses are the dominant flower featured, but there's a mix of other flowers here adding some complexity to the garden as well as some lush green plants. The juniper and coriander add some backbone to both the aroma and the taste, but they're minor players here. The brand's cucumber flavor is not noticeable at all, which may be a plus for some (myself included). The gin has a mild bittersweet ending and a light juniper peppery note. Would incorporate in gin cocktails featuring sparkling wine or fresh berries. "
