Nose is lavender, citrus, and juniper, floral and fairly assertive. Clear color and thin legs in the glass. Floral sweetness and dry spicy herbal in the mouth. Citrus and juniper are there, but on background. Tastes and feels thin. Spice grows and lingers in a relatively long finish that turns to citrus oil and pith. Definitely a new American style gin, but without much complexity. Kinda flat in both a Martini (3.7/1) and a G&T. Meh.

An elegant, American Gin by Breckenridge Distillery in Colorado. It has a delicate birth with hints of Lemon twist & iris blooms; while a balanced life adds notes of grain, citrus, pine & lavender; that led to a quick & delicate death with hints of spice & wild flowers. May 2020
Bought a bottle today from distillery. Spicy lavender on the nose. Small citrus on taste followed by classic juniper. Not a London dry at all wet mouthfeel. Solid more herbal style of gin.
This gin has worked well in mixed drinks, the taste blends nicely with grapefruit, overall I enjoy it
Slightly different from a London dry gin, but if you like one, you’ll like the other (I think).
Straightforward and uninteresting
