Tasting Notes
"You definitely can see the inspiration from Holland genever on the nose, but perhaps there is more of a new make whiskey aroma than genever. The spices are king in this gin, particularly the coriander and cardamom. There's a bit of alcohol heat on the finish that seems a touch out of balance with the gin. The finish leans on those spices and bitter roots and finishes dry. The dollop of hops makes this a gin to serve neat with a beer on the side which is also what many do with genever. This is called a "Kopstoot" in Holland."
