Modern GinAka Contemporary, New Western, New Wave, or New American. Not legally defined, but juniper is not the dominate flavor. Often made with botanicals not historically used and/or sourced locally.
Tasting Notes
"The nose is intensely citrusy with "wintergreen" notes of spearmint. Hints of juniper and lemongrass hide behind a dominant flavor of lemons, peel and all. There's a decent viscosity to the spirit, with some sweetness in the midpalate that carries into a clean finish without much chemical overtones. But it certainly does not need more lemon as a garnish for a GnT or Martini. "
