A bit of medicinal red cherry starts this but gladly gives way to a tangier fruit middle including some small citrus and tart sweet plum-grape tannin. This may possibly be the most "wine like" gin on the market, but it's from Texas so why wouldn't it be different. The finish is something of a lime alkali base with some green mellon and citric tang. One of the most "unexpected" gins I've tried. The herbal aspect is subdued, juniper being non existent. It takes botanical in an entirely new direction.
Certainly a far cry from the Euro versions of botanical gins, Green House gin goes where other gins dare not tread or maybe they just never thought of going. One thing I certainly appreciate is a great and grand LACK of anise, THANK YOU Green House for that small favor.
I'm not sure what all this offers itself to in the gin drink variety, I just popped a bit of San Pelligrino's Oakwood tonic in to see what happens and it's a great, if unusual concoction. The honey dew mellon continues to stand out and the sugary sweet nose that might have turned ugly never really comes into play. Giving it a good mark, the fact it's both affordable and easily attainable(if you have a Total Wine handy) doesn't hurt at all.
The Green House distillers had the audacity to go WAY off the beaten gin track and I for one am glad they did. Cheers!
