New Amsterdam Gin

Well the gin rabbit hole turns out to be a deep one, go figure, but Stephanies "herbal sweet orange peel" notes seem pretty accurate, the Stratosphere gin is sold at 80 proof here in the states. It delivers a nice sweet punch with a dry finish, a very acceptable gin for the price, making it a good budget conscious choice for gin drinkers. It also evens out standard tonic nicely yielding a moderately sweet and flavorful drink and the notable lack of over bearing juniper and the evil anise are both appreciated. At worst it will save you from taaka or mccormicks gin and that alone is worth a nod, and if you need a standard 80 proof (low for gin) for whatever reason, it gives you an option. It kind of nudges its way into the Beefeater and Gilbeys lineup as a decent but unassuming choice, not bad at all. Cheers!

Perfectly good mixer

Good cheap gin for mixing.

Aroma: smells like a hint of fir tree Taste: harsh liquor taste
