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 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. "
