Tasting Notes
"The aroma would be familiar to you if you've ever had a new-make whiskey. Pepper and caraway (a nice touch to pair with the rye-base) are present, but not overwhelming, and the citrus zest has a delicate touch. Though there is more juniper in this gin from St. George than their others, it still isn't on the forefront. On the palate, the gin is round and slightly sweet. The gin finishes with the spices coming through on the finish, particularly the coriander. You could very easily sip this neat (and pair it with a Scandinavian smörgåsbord) or use in a bold-flavored drink like a Negroni."
