I'm on a Kirkland roll lately. Here goes... tasted neat Nose is slightly sweet, piney, and with a slight "aspirin" bitterness note that's not at all objectionable. There's a fair bit of ethanol, but again this isn't objectionable at all. It's really a solid gin aroma. Compared to Bombay Sapphire (different style, I know) it is lacking in complexity and has only a trace of floral elements. That noted, there's nothing here to make me pump the brakes. On the palate this offers a little less juniper than the nose promises. It's sweet and relatively soft with a fast finish and minimal complexity. This is a fair London Dry style and nothing about it makes me wish I had poured something else. My Monkey 47 is in no danger, but for the money this is solid. Comparatively the Sapphire is far more floral, complex and has a significantly greater level of complexity. This is exactly what I expected. Thinking about my experiences with other budget gins, this is certainly a better choice that G & J Greenall. It's both less expensive and better integrated. I've had the Kirkland in a Martini, 50/50, on rocks, in a G&T, Negroni and with soda. In no case have I been let down. This is just a solid budget gin. It's approaching Beefeater level quality for about half the price and that's impressive on its own. Yes, I'll buy this again. Great for those times when you want a gin to experiment with, Very good for freezer-door or batched cocktails, a bargain when you're pouring in volume for friends and overall just a great deal. A quality average gin with above average value ($20 for a 1.75). Who want's to argue with that!
