New Amsterdam Gin

Tasted neat. Much sweeter on the nose than Bombay Sapphire. This is flowery, sugary sweet compared to Bombay's meatier, more juniper-laden richer nose.There is a solid ethanol background. On the tongue this is light, not particularly crisp and sweet like frosted breakfast cereal. In comparison the Bombay brings pepper, bitter orange, pine and a cleaner finish. The New Amsterdam isn't as complex, but it's not bad. In a sour or other mixed drink the NA is tasty. Not a Martini gin by any stretch of the imagination, though. I rate on a scale of 1 to 5 where a 1 is a drain pour and a 5 is a perfect representation of the expression. Most mass market liquor should rate between a 2 and 3 following a bell curve. New Amsterdam gin is absolutely in the average range.

Light and easy to drink but not much flavor

Not a gin expert. Mainly use for G&T. This one seems pretty decent for the price. Seems to be less harsh than others I’ve tried but I do get a “stale” aftertaste with this one that I don’t get in others. Only had it a couple times so will update my review if it changes over time.

Cheap gin, mixes well
