Modern GinAka Contemporary, New Western, New Wave, or New American. Not legally defined, but juniper is not the dominate flavor. Often made with botanicals not historically used and/or sourced locally.
Tasting Notes
"The aroma is full of fresh, bright citrus, sansho pepper, and coriander. The lemon and orange citrus flavors continue to dominate the profile on the palate which is soft and full. There's a peppery backnote, but because the base distillate is rich and slightly sweet, the pepper isn't sharp. A versatile gin, and one that isn't entirely reworking the gin category."
