Tasting Notes
"Refreshing aromas of cantaloupe, honeysuckle, jasmine, green tea and pine provide a breezy introduction to the nose. The palate is a much harsher story. Hey, who invited the liquid potpourri and melted bubblegum? An overwhelming perfuminess and persistent, cotton candy-like sweetness nearly edge out any hint of citrus, or juniper, for that matter. Perhaps this gin is best used as a cocktail modifier for recipes calling for florals. As a standalone, it's pretty hard to get past all that perfume. "
