Rather than debase myself by attempting to describe what I smell and taste with no context whatsoever, I thought I’d share a story about this Gin. My lovely wife has extended a begrudging acceptance of my whisky hobby. Due to said hobby, I find myself at the liquor store relatively often, and I feel like we reached a turning point when I said, “I’m going to the liquor store.” And she to wit replied, “Oooooh bring back Gin!”. This is a good step. She won’t drink whisky but she will drink with me. I haven’t spent too much time in the Gin aisle. Imagine my surprise when I find that there’s just as many Gin choices and there are whisky choices! What to choose (suggestions from here notwithstanding). The wife and I went to England for two weeks a few years back, and during our time in London, we visited the Beefeater distillery. Very slick tour, cool facility, and free Gin and Tonics at the end. Not bad. Moreover, we had a positive trip memory associated with this brand. Probably what they were going for, but still... So I bought this. And it’s good. Slightly sweet. Good in cocktails balanced against citrus. Good with Tonic. Good for hot weather. Good for the wife. Cheers!
