Botanical SpiritAn up and coming spirit, this category currently has no legal definition. Usually a neutral spirit is used as the base and it is then flavored with botanicals. However, juniper is NOT used in its production, so it is NOT a type of gin. Botanical spirits are usually not aged, but there are some exceptions.

Tasting Notes
"The cucumber aroma is quite intense, enough that you can detect it when you open the bottle, with thoughts turning to their skins. Mint is of moderate intensity which is a nice collaboration. The cucumber flavor, thankfully, comes down a few notches upon tasting with the refreshing mint offering a crisp finish. Of course serving with club soda on the rocks is a natural go-to, but consider adding a splash of pink lemonade or grapefruit juice to add a little sweetness (and dimension). "
