The smell has a strangely "blurred" quality for me, like there are many components but they're all blended into one "flat" aroma. It's fruity in a generic way that reminds me of some type of bubblegum I had when I was a kid --- a sort of grape/berry/fruit punch kind of thing. The taste is likewise fruity but has a sharper citrus note and becomes peppery as it goes into the finish. This is certainly solid but not super complex and bit blunt for my tastes in gin. I'm usually looking for gins that I'll like drinking neat. This isn't bad neat but is probably better suited to cocktails, at least for me. I got this as part of the three-pack of small bottles of each of three St. George gins, and of the three this is the one I liked least (although I still liked it).
