Being unfiltered can be a good thing, right? This Unfiltered Gin 22 was an early purchase of mine from Dillons (batch 14). It gains its name from being created in a copper pot still with vapor passed through 22 botanicals. This gin has a base of local Niagara region grapes rather than grain.  Unfiltered Gin 22 has a crisp, yet supple nose like a creamy melon custard (isn't that a thing?). The initial sip feels "clean" and refreshing with a touch of sweet tropical fruit. It brings a character-filled exhale and finish that feels like I'm breathing out a cloud of balanced botanicals. That slightly herbal and peppery sensation gently lingers on the tongue and warms your chest. This could be a sipping gin. Even though it doesn't have the frills, infusions and backflips that others provide, non-gin drinkers could likely find peace in this pour. I appreciate that this gin doesn't have a loud juniper presence and was crafted with a rich, luxe mouthfeel. Though it's unfiltered, it feels quite refined. 8.5/10
