Tasting Notes
"This gin is a bit shy, with only hints of its advertised scents of cantaloupe and satsuma. Most beguiling is its almost total lack of juniper aroma which is perhaps a nod to America’s new gin order that prefers the exotic over the traditional. The rice distillate comes across as light bodied with some ripe fruit flavors and then a finish that extols peppercorn spice and perhaps a bit of the spirit’s relatively high abv. Drinkable as an innocuous mixer, but ultimately this is a drink not made for gin drinkers."
