I was always curious of this gin. I love St George for what they’ve done with their Single Malt; those annual releases get sold within a blink. So with a name like “terroir”, I knew what I was in for—-a taste of the California land and forest. I had this romantic notion of a hike through a northwestern pine forest, covered in moss and mist. Yes...it is the taste of terroir...but it’s sage. And I’m not a fan of sage...just a personal taste thing. From the reviews here, I’m clearly the outlier. So...i”d not get my aversion to sage as a reflection on this. Thanks to @The_Rev for the sample!

@The_Rev. Yeah, I had it neat. I’m not a fan of mixed drinks and cocktails, but I can see it working in those
The sage is...intense. I love sage, so that doesn’t phase me, but it’s not necessarily something I want a glass of neat to savor. As the spirit in a Red Snapper (aka a Bloody Mary with gin instead of vodka), though...sign me up.
