End of Days Distillery, Wilmington, NC. 100% corn base distilled six times, infused with butterfly pea flower extract and 14 botanicals, bottled at 41% ABV.
Beautiful translucent purple-lavender liquid, strong coating legs in the glass. On the nose, citrus, juniper, and pine, long on citrus. In the mouth, starts with a thin chemical taste, some juniper, and citrus hangs in the background. Dry exotic spices and floral flavors come on, and then the gin closes with spices and a very short finish--strange given the coating legs in the glass.
Looks nice, mixes ok in a cocktail (and changes color with acid), but doesn't really stand out, even with soda in a Tom Collins. The flavors of the base spirit are weak, indistinct, and disappointing.
My point of comparison is Empress 1908 Indigo Gin.
