Tasting Notes
"Although there are no doubt a long list of botanicals in this gin, the predominant flavor is a bold, spicy smack of cardamom. The seed’s earthy character carries on across the palate and the finish is joined by a bit of fruit and a floral component. This is a far cry from a traditional London Dry with little perceptible juniper, but is recommended for fans of big, bold, heady flavors who aren’t afraid of a bit of spice. Perhaps too flavorful and esoteric for classic cocktails, but would be delightful with tonic or fruit juice."
