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
"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."
