Tasting Notes
"The gin gives off the piney juniper and orange peel right away, but there is an earthy quality under the surface. The gin is full and soft on the mouthfeel due in large part to the water source. The bark really leaves an impression on the finish. It gives the gin the bitterness and heightens the herbal and earthy factor. There is a just a touch of sweetness there that helps to balance the gin out. This certainly stands out from other gins and you'd be wise to taste before using amari or other bitters in your cocktail."
