It tastes a fair amount like whiskey on the palate and it smells like it too. A lot of oak, vanilla, caramel and cinnamon up front. Then more of the botanicals come out. It's quite complex despite not being heavily flavored. It's very good. They say it's aged in char 3, which is just a good fyi note.
Don't drink this right after whiskey, but drinking it on a clean palate reveals substantial complexity with a light flavor of rich wood mixed with some spicy, herbal gin notes, and a nice vanilla and floral sweetness. This is better than Batch 206 aged counter yet (4 years), which in turn is similarly better than Voyager dry gin (unaged). There some nice citrus bite in here too, giving it a freshness. The age is actually quite nice - it doesn't taste young, but does taste complex. There's a little bit of tannin in here, but it's just enough to give that aged presence and it mates well with the dry, herbal quality of the gin. This is very good.
