New Amsterdam Gin

New Amsterdam Stratusphere (The Original) is a different take on Gin, the orange flavor is strong and the alcohol feels very subtle. This is very well suited for summer fruity cocktails. Not bad for a Gin & Tonic either but it will be different. For a more traditional take on Gin, the distillers have their London Dry version (green label) where the Juniper presence is stronger.

New Amsterdam is my favorite gin. I've tried many gins, and this is the one I keep coming back for. Good amount of juniper, but brighter and fruitier than a London dry. Notes of orange and lime. I love Gin & Tonics, and many brands serve very well in a G&T. This New Amsterdam Gin is the only gin I enjoy by itself on ice as much as I do in a cocktail.

Really synthetic taste. Much prefer Stratosphere: definitely worth the couple extra dollars over this gin. Would not drink again unless in a heavily mixed drink.
