Rutte Dry Gin

Distilled Gin — Netherlands

Reviewed January 1, 2022 (edited August 9, 2022)
2.75
2.75 out of 5 stars
I recently bought this bottle because I saw it in a few cocktail recipes I wanted to try out and since I'm almost finished with it, I figured I would review it. On the nose it's pretty juniper forward and it's hard to make out much else. However, after taking a few sips, the juniper is almost not even there and it's very heavy on the citrus, primarily lemon peel with a touch of spice. It feels very thin, almost watery, except for the lemon peel. The finish is pretty short, but there is almost no heat or burn. Overall, I wouldn't say this is a bad gin, it's decent, but less juniper forward than I would prefer. It does have a decent ABV (at 86 proof), but it doesn't have the weight of the other gins that I lean towards, whether it be drinking gin neat (which isn't often, but when it is I usually lean towards Monkey 47) or in cocktails (Tanqueray, Beefeater & Plymouth). It also isn't the cheapest out there, so for those reasons, I scored it just below a 3.
