Tanqueray London Dry Gin (47.3%)

I'm starting to become a huge gin fan. Thanks to Paul, I got to sample this one. I love the palette on this---it's coriander through and through. And not the coriander leaves, but the actual seeds. My mom used to have this bottle of coriander seeds, imported from India. As soon as she opened the bottle, the entire kitchen was taken over by this earthy crispy aroma. I've had a few gins before, and they were all really good, but what I like about this one is that it puts the coriander seeds front and center. I had it with some ice (honestly, I have no idea what do with it besides having it neat or with ice). Would I buy a bottle? Yeah...it's a great standard staple gin. I kicked it down a notch from about 3.5 to 3 because of the finish--thought it was a little rough and bitter...but, I'm just splitting hairs at this point. This is a really good standard go-to gin. Thanks Paul for the sample!
