Rose gin? Never heard of her until i was looking for a gin to refill my liquor cabinet for G&T’s during sunmer time. Ran across this and im familiar with the irish whiskey but never knew they made a gin. The price is what jumped out at me, clearance for $9.99. What the heck ill give er a taste for $10. Well, probably the best $10 ive spent in a while since it does the job mixing as a mixer even though it makes my G&T’s pink. I still think St. Augustine is hands down the best gin for the money out there but im going back tomorrow snd buying up the rest of these st $10 so my G&T’s are gonna be pink for awhile. I bet it makes a good gimlet for my wife as well and she’ll love the pink too. 8/8/23

The rose is apparent on the nose, adding a soft floral character to the botanical mix. But, the juniper is the dominant feature. Flavorwise, the rose adds just enough intrigue and floweriness to add a unique twist. After a few sips, it settles into a comfortable familiarity. We like this one straight up, or in some non-citrus gin cocktails. Quite interesting, and a successful expression.
Floral/rose lover's dream. The burn at the roof of the mouth is almost cold, so it's very refreshing. Easily sippable with just some club soda over ice and an herbal or flower garnish to accentuate the nose of the spirit. Not to mention it is pink!! Beautiful. Could do some really fun things with this one. So happy I grabbed it.
Floral, refreshing
