CHEMIST AMERICAN GIN APPEARANCE: Nice looking old apothecary style bottle with attractive labeling looks great on the bar. NOSE: For a Modern American Gin the nose boasts a lot of Juniper paired with Citrus Peel (heavy on the grapefruit), and Mint. There is a hint of Floral. I also get a little of the Wheat they use in their base clear spirit which adds a nice earthy note. PALATE: Woah...Ok, this is where it leaves the traditional camp. Citrus Galore. Tangerine. Grapefruit. Lemon. Mint. The Juniper is here, but very muted. Lightly oily and slick on the tongue, there is a coating Minty Orange aftertaste. This could be very good served up or on the rocks all by its lonesome. VERDICT: This is a very good gin, especially if you like Citrus. They didn't go overboard on the botanicals, but the ones they use play very well together. When making a Dry Martini with this one, I couldn't decide on Olive or Twist, so I split the difference and broke out the Mezzetta Cocktail Onions for a solid Gibson. So far, this distillery is 2 for 2, with the tasty Wiley Vodka and this Gin. Now my curiosity is piqued for the Navy Strength, Barrel Rested, and 151 versions.
