Tanqueray London Dry Gin (47.3%)

A classic nose among London dry gins; juniper and coriander, with barely anything else. Thin-bodied and level, lemon peel on the entry, lemongrass, lemon pepper, and any other exotic thing you can think of containing the word "lemon". Something more interesting almost shows up midpalate, but then quickly morphs into lime and more seasoning of some kind, or perhaps a manifestation of juniper. This is a gin that I highly characterize as citrus/coriander-forward, and seems a bit simple and one-dimensional compared to others out there. I suggest pairing gin alongside an IPA during the Summer months, and this one is good for chasing the more citrus-y hops.
