It smells spicy, herbal, citrus, salty, and complex. There's a surprisingly amount of umami, giving this sort of a roast meat flavor that is strikingly mouth-watering. The flavor is clean and rounded with complexity that invites me to have more. The lemon does come out with nice salt and pepper and a hint of fennel, juniper, chamomile, and corriander. All of the flavors are very good and the balance is excellent. This is an amazing demonstration of what gin can be. This isn't like normal gin (though it is a bit reminiscent of Monkey 47 with some umami and rye notes) but it is an excellent demonstration of what good gin can taste like. It does become a bit monotonous with additional sipping, but it is still a gin exemplar. The nose has a bit of that unaged rhum agricole squash accent to it that pairs with the oiliness. It also smells clearly of corriander and juniper, possibly with the slightest hint of citrus. The palate is oily and complex (yet distinct) with some prickly spiciness mixed with a subdued squash, a little bit of nutty oil, some clean chamomile, a little simple syrup sweetness, a dash of corriander, and some dry juniper. It has the smooth flavor of watered-down Beefeater, but it has a greater complexity and variety of botanicals. This is a strange and tasty gin. It's bit of vegetal side can be odd, but it never has any squash flavor and mostly just tastes like an oily assortment of odd botanicals.
