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
"Strong evergreen and citrus aromas are detectable the moment the cap comes off the bottle. The palate veers strongly toward junipery, pine needle, licorice, peppermint, and citrus flavors. This gin would work for situations calling for a more effervescent gin, but it could use more structure in the midpalate to round out the somewhat harsh wintermint effect. "
