Modern GinAlso has been referred to as "Contemporary", "New Western", "New Wave", and "New American". This style is not legally defined. In general, this category of gin, while it does contain juniper, places less of an emphasis on this botanical. Other botanicals not classically used in London Dry gins are often utilized and often highlight botanicals grown in the region the gin is produced. Most produced as either London Dry or Distilled Gins.

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. "
