Reid's Gin

Sweet botanical, mint, viscous, and herbal.

I've been meaning to check out Reid's Distillery for quite some time. With a day off and autumn sunshine, today was the day for an adventure. I was encouraged to take home their Signature Gin (along with smaller airplane-serving size bottles of their other offerings). I love how their bottles resemble a vintage decanter with a wax sealed cap! The nose is botanical without being overpowering. Sips while neat are herbaceous featuring Canadian sweet fern and a strong juniper footprint. There's a medium burn that tingles the tongue through a dry, umami finish. While Reid's Signature Gin is smooth enough by itself and on rocks, it elegantly compliments a soda like an ideal date to a party. Their vision was to create a gin intended for a martini, G&T or cocktail and I'd say that they succeeded. 7.5/10.

Nicely balanced with great botanical flavour
