The Bottle: A fairly classy design of clear glass with a green and white label. It doesn't stand out, but it's not instantly forgettable either. It's perfectly serviceable. In the Glass: Clear and rather thin. Not as viscous as some other gins or vodkas that I've come across. On the Nose: The 47%abv is noticeable here. The alcohol is the dominant player here, but there is a good floral/pepper note underneath as is befitting a London Dry. This is a straight-forward and uncomplicated spirit. Taste: The arrival and development are actually quite smooth, with sweet and peppery herbal notes. It isn't overly peppered or junipered or anything else, the balance seems nicely struck. The finish is where the alcohol strength comes back a bit, but it's fairly tame for the %. I wouldn't recommend this as a sipper per se, but it will bring a good backbone to any gin-based cocktail.
