Tasted neat.
Clear in the glass (unlike the original discontinued version that was a faint yellow), with substantial coating legs. Nose is floral evergreen forest, citrus, and coriander. Clean and bright. In the mouth, citrus and herbal, then a rush of ethanol with an earthy juniper and forest floor flavor, followed by coriander and light spice. Sweet and viscous coating mouthfeel, but that disappears quickly in a rather short finish (again, unlike the original). Citrus, rose, and a tingling dry spice linger as aftertaste.
Not exactly how I remember the original Farmer's Gin (and gave a 5 rating). This seems lighter on the juniper flavors, more rose and citrus (lemongrass), less coating mouthfeel. It's still a beautiful gin, just not as assertive as I expected (esp at 93.4 proof). Those who like modern American gins will appreciate it, and I do appreciate it as a gin of that style, but... was hoping for a more forceful juniper punch to hold up in cocktails.
Great new bottle and labeling, and a quality organic gin from Idaho worth exploring. https://www.farmersgin.com/
