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
"The grain base plays prominently in both the aromatics and flavors of this firmly American-style gin. The malted barley in particular adds beautiful notes of sweet, baked bread, cracked grain, and white whiskey. Below the grain influence, botanicals emerge with a focus on medicinal juniper, citrus, and black pepper leading to a pleasantly spicy finish. Because of its rich base, this is a very pleasantly sipper with a round and creamy mouthfeel. Tonic would not be a bad addition for a subtle G & T, and although at only 40% alcohol, the spirit’s richness can stand the dilution of a martini."
