Martin Miller's Gin

I bought this last month when I went to Columbia, SC to help my son clean out his dorm room as the Covid-19 virus shut down his school and he left all of the items he could not pack into his car. There is a very nice package store not very far from his dorm and I usually go there to see what they have when I visit him. They had Martin Millers on sale for $14 a bottle and I took a chance. This gin falls into the category of "Gins for people that do not like Gin". The nose is soft juniper and citrus notes. I actually went to their website and looked at the ingredients list and they have 3 different citrus peels which really come out if you sip this neat. The body neat is very nice and citrusy with a very little burn on my tongue, but there is a little bitterness caused by the peels. The finish is pleasant and smooth with a touch of burn and bitterness. Now for the bad news, this gin disappears in nearly every drink I have tried it in with the exception of Martinis and Gimlets. I made Gin and Tonics with several different ratios and tonics and none of them really tasted great. The gin completely disappeared in every single one. If someone does not like classic London Dry Gin then make them a drink with this and see what they say. For $14 this is a very good buy and the flavors are pleasant but for an everyday gin, this falls short for me. Enjoy.

Smooth and well balanced. Good all around gin and reasonably priced.
