Tasting Notes
"Sweet orange peel takes over on the nose with the herbal grass notes coming in a distant second. New Amsterdam Gin is oily and sweet on your palate with the juniper tough to suss out as is its intention to remain in the background. On that front, they've succeeded. The finish is just orange and black pepper. Drink recommendation? Definitely not a martini. Perhaps try something with fresh citrus juice like a Salty Dog cocktail--grapefruit juice and gin with a salted rim served over ice."
