Bourbon Snob Tries Gin: Part 4 Part 3: Hendrick’s Lunar Part 5, 1/5/25: Uncle Val’s Botanical >>>~~~~~~~~~~<<< I have not had too many gins. It’s been years since I’ve tried one. I don’t really know the language or the flavor profiles that make sense when describing gin. Fake it til you make it baby. This is a bourbon snob trying to understand gin. Much thanks to @ContemplativeFox for the pour! >>>~~~~~~~~~~<<< Nose is white dog. This is fascinating. There’s butter, grain, corn. Genuinely smells like white dog. It’s delicious. Body is butter. Cream. Not much else going on. Finish is flat. Bit of cinnamon possibly. Pit fruits join the finish eventually: grape, raisin. This tastes just like a solid white dog. Very good. I’ve tried a few brands’ white dog on premises, and I genuinely enjoy the flavors from a science experiment perspective. This lives in that space for me, which feels odd. I was beginning to think that all gin flavors lived in front of a lemon pinesol backdrop, but this one is in a different world. I no longer know what to think!
