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
"On first sniff one can tell that any London Dry-style inspiration has been left behind, and the exotic and wild tones of the New Western gin movement are enthusiastically endorsed. There are spicy flavors of mountain ginger and exotic flavors of Asian spice with only a hint of juniper. The palate has admirable richness and continues with highly flavorful tones of dried violet and cardamom pods before finishing with lingering hints of anise and coriander."
