Collective arts Rhubarb & Hibiscus
Distilled Gin — Ontario, Canada

Have you ever tried an infused gin? I've had quite the adventure with the Collective Arts gins: One I adored, and another was not for me. There's much about the company that I appreciate, most notably how they feature emerging visual artists on their bottles and cans! Next up to try is Collective Arts Rhubarb & Hibiscus gin (series 2, bottle 14,131).
This gin's nose is lightly floral with rhubarb (unsurprising, I know) and juicy citrus. Pack my towel and floppy hat, I'm ready for the beach!
My sips are a nice intersection of lightly fruit sweet, herbaceousness and slight tanginess. The finish settles into earthy ginger with an orange peel twist. This almost tastes like a full cocktail within a spirit.
I would happily drink this over ice or with a little bit of extra citrus and soda to brighten the finish. Though there is some juniper in the midst, I'd encourage non-gin drinkers who are looking for something light and refreshing to give these infused gins a go.
8/10
