To be fair, I’m not a gin drinker. But I tried this at the distillery and was blown away by how easy drinking it was, the depth and vibrancy of the botanicals was amazing and I loved every drop of it.

Better then avg and smooth. Would make a fine mixer. Less floral then the autumn 2019 gin...so I prefer this one.

Balanced gin. If ever touring the distillery try the Strawberry Summer Smash made with Roots of Ruin.
