Rating: 16/23 Floral, fruity nose. Tons of green apple. Not super complex, but sweet and enticing. The palate is quite sweet, but light and fairly smooth. There is some white pepper prickling with some herbal flavor is as well. It's very floral with some really nice green apple and pear to it as well. The complexity is decent and its a tasty fruity/floral gin. It won't win anyone over who doesn't already like that class of gin, but it will satisfy those who do. As always, Nolet's is the obvious comparison for this type of gin. They're both good choices. Nolet's has a richer nose with more pine to it. Honestly, I barely get the pine on this, so while I'd probably guess it was a gin, I might think it was some type of other liqueur instead. Nolet's is more viscous and floral with a richer, warmer presence. The floral and pine flavors of Nolet's go together really well, though you do have to like the taste of roses to appreciate the combination. Nolet's is certainly a lot less fruity, but it's better rounded. I wouldn't say that Nolet's is tremendously better since it's still very in your face and you really need to like that floral flavor, but it is a good point or two higher. This is a good 15 to 16. It's tasty, but I would say that I now slightly prefer the more standard but well-executed style of Oregon Spirit Dry Gin.
