Tasting Notes
"Wheeler Western Dry Gin's list of botanicals includes a few unusual entries one doesn't often encounter in the category. These give it a green, herbal aroma and flavor to support the dominant juniper notes, with floral qualities and savory sage being perhaps the most notable. This is an intriguing riff on traditional gin, but it has enough juniper to perform well with the canon of gin cocktails, straying just far enough from the typical dry gin to keep things interesting."
