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
"Lovely floral notes, fresh and a tad perfumed. There's some honeysuckle on the nose too, as well as juniper and pomelo. The palate displays classic juniper notes, oranges and cardamom, but also sweet licorice. It becomes slightly vegetal at some point. Wonderful gin with a unique DNA."
