This is the second gin I'm trying from this distiller, the first being the rye variant. 19 seems like a great number for botanicals; it seems at first a little high, but it has room to insert some unique items, like the cilantro. I am also excited that there are so many of them that are steeped as opposed to added to the gin basket, so I look forward to a different blend to taste. There is mostly floral and herbaceous notes on the scent, but no one thing that overpowers another. It smells like it would taste fantastic with some citrus, but I don't actually get any on the nose. You can tell juniper is there, but it's definitely an afterthought behind the other botanicals. The initial taste is certainly floral, and almost sweet, but I can still tell it's a gin. The taste really just develops from the smell that you get from standing in a National Park garden, but I still just vaguely get a citrus note suggestion, and if it's anything, I'd call it lemon and lime peels that were dried out and then rolled in sugar. The finish feels light, but the flavors that have been tasted thus far still shine evenly until the palate is completely cleared. This is especially nice given the slightly higher 90 proof on a gin. This variant was very impressive. I did not purchase the green label, which in all research seems like it would be the brand's flagship gin, but even without trying that one, I would argue that this should be the one that any gin novice turns to if they want an awesome American gin spin that is still very approachable for most casual drinkers. With the rye version also having it's own impressive notes to it, I am looking forward to purchasing full size bottles from this distillery, minus the green label variant, since I couldn't care less about California "specialties."
