Worst-tasting gin I've ever had, absolutely undrinkable neat, terrible in a martini, ruins good tonic. Should not sell for more than $5 a fifth. Leaves an awful metallic aftertaste, I almost thought I'd been poisoned. Do yourself a favor, never burn a tastebud with this swill.

Soft floral notes, but not as smooth as other gins. It also has a faint unpleasant aftertaste. Overall, not a bad gin, but not one I would recommend, either neat or in a cocktail.
Contemporary gin so just enough juniper to BE gin. Hibiscus and Cardamom notes forward for me on this. Fun in a cocktail, deserved of the gold medal from the IWSC.
Lots of botanicals and floral notes. definitely a little more out there than your average gin, but it makes for a refreshing gin and tonic.
Smooth and light with a strong essence of lemon and citrus. Very refreshing for a special twist with a gin and tonic!!
A citrus-forward gin. Opened up a bit in a G&T. Decent.
