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
"This is truly a springtime-reminiscent gin with impressive aromas of wild meadow flowers and lemon hard-candy. The palate is refreshing and the echoing floral characteristics are well-balanced by bittersweet citrus-peel and tones of savory angelica and coriander. The finish has a hint of spice making the mouth water for another sip. A star in shaken citrus cocktails and a no-brainer gin & tonic spirit."
