Nose - rose, juniper, coriander, floral tea, white pepper, almond, lemon and orange zest, mint, fresh cut grass, mild ethanol burn. Taste - rose, floral tea, spearmint, juniper, white pepper, coriander, bitter lemon pith, cucumber, cinnamon, almond, ginger, mild to moderate alcohol bite, finishing medium short with light juniper, rose, and bitter citrus flavors. This is less juniper forward and a bit sweeter than a traditional gin, but it isn’t one of the better modern gins I’ve tried. I think it’s about on par with Tanqueray and Beefeater for me. It’s also $10+ more than those and the same price as Drumshanbo, which makes Hendrick’s a poor value in my eyes. Better than average, but nothing special.
