Rating: 16/23 This is a big improvement over the vodka. The vodka had a few flavors that were really nice and then this gross tarry clone. This all but eliminates the tar while adding additional piney and citrus complexity and balance. It's like a naturally sweet London dry gin without tasting flat or punching you in the face. There's no way it's below a 15 and I can see up to a 17. I'm going with a 16. Huh, I gave this a 10 last time, so that's a big difference. Either my palate was in a very different state or they've changed something about this gin. I'm inclined to believe the latter (which is not the usual direction I go when this comes up) because on both occasions this was the second spirit in a flight, on both occasions their vodka was the first, and on both occasions I gave the vodka a 12. The good news is that this batch is a really good gin.
