I was curious to try this legendary gin, so I took a couple of sips. It's much sweeter than I'd expected and it's also fruitier. There's not a ton of juniper, but there is a surprisingly large prickly, spicy element. There's some clear minerality as well. I'd like to try this side-by-side with Ford's, which seems like the closest parallel I can think of. This isn't terribly strongly flavored and the flavors smoosh together a bit (but I've just been making some strongly flavored soup, so my palate could be way off). I like this, but I'll need to give it a proper tasting to make a call on whether I really like this. Well, at least if I like it enough to say it's worth the price. Based on this tasting, I give it a thumbs up, though not the most enthusiastic one.
