This is one of my go-to gins (although I may be slightly biased since I live near the distillery). It does drink almost like a whiskey. Very smooth, and great on the rocks. I do like it with tonic water, but it is VERY different than your usual gin & tonic. I am not a big fan of juniper-forward gin, and it is hardly noticeable here (a big plus for me). Cheers.
