There's a lot of juniper on the nose. It doesn't smell complex and does smell very in-your face. The palate is better, though still a bit on the herbal side. It's spicy and herbal, more like Tanqueray than Beefeater, but is actually more like The Botanist. There's a lot of unpleasant bitterness underlying it that I wish weren't there though. Of course there's some citrus, but it isn't overwhelming. There isn't a ton of complexity here and it is too assertive. It would be a good enough mixer, though the bitter alcohol is a bit of a problem. There's less juniper than expected here but it lacks the subtlety I expect of a modern gin. I kind of get the floral corriander flavor and it is nice, but it is also overpowered. There is some sweetness but it tastes a bit artificial and off. It seems less aggressive and more floral and mildly sweet in an odd mineral, caramel way toward the end but it still isn't that great.
