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
"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."
