Initial Taste
A delicate blend this gin is easy and approachable, the coriander and cardamom are notable while the tart citrus rinds come through finally finishing with a power anise, while I don't care much for a licorice note, it really isn't a problem and doesn't distract from the over all profile and those who like it will enjoy this even more.
Mixed
Was perfect with Fever Tree tonic in a pink gin combo. Just happened on to this gin at a local shop and decided it might be worth a try. For those into the more imaginative gin blends this is going to be certain upgrade of the traditional London Drys. Assuming any level of consistency in production this should be a must try for the gin drinkers. Cheers!

I just bought a bottle of Botanist and am simply waiting for the Martini/Gibson mood to strike.
@BDanner apparently this has been around over 25 years so some consistency should be inherent now. I want to include comparison to the Rangpur and No Ten botanicals (hopefully), right now I have Hendrix, Boodles, Botanist and Monkey 47 lined up, cheers sir!
This was one of my first ventures outside of the traditional London Dry and I really enjoy it.
