Anyone reviewing this who says it's "just an ordinary gin" simply doesn't know what frankincense and myrrh smell (or taste) like. These are ancient resins, made famous by the Christmas story of course, that do have a distinct smell, and taste. As someone who is very familiar with both of them, I can assure you I was amazed to detect both of them in this gin -- subtly but definitely, and beautifully -- because too much would be overwhelming! Here's my challenge -- go obtain some of each (they're commonly found in shops), burn them, and then try this and see for yourself. It's amazing.
