Whoa! There's a really sweet floral fruity nose. I can smell this from across the room! There are some really nice apples and green apples, as well as pears, hints of anise, and maybe a tad of watermelon and passion fruit. The nose has a nice balance of sweet and tart. The palate is clean with a nice spring water flavor mixed with some dry spiciness that adds a consistent heat to the big floral fruitiness that mirrors the nose but drier. It's still a tad sweet, but not so much. It most notably has suggestions of sour watermelon candy. It's actually really tasty and well-executed. This is likely to be a very divisive gin, but the balance is really quite good and it's tasty with decent complexity. It compares well with Esmé Gin. I really like this. Esmé is more floral whereas this is more fruity. It's a tough call between the two of these. This is a bit harsher, but in a way that works. They're both quite fun and while I'm leaning toward the Esmé, they are of similar quality. They're both in the same class as Nolet's. Nolet's is more interesting and edgy, but also quite on the nose (so perhaps less balanced). I'm leaning toward Nolet's, but all three are in the same ballpark. Nolet's has a hint of bubblegum that could drag it down though.
