Very unique gin. Lots of orange peel in the taste. Unique gin & tonic with orange instead of lime. Still, I have lines on hand more often and tend to go for traditional london drys, so this fine would get passed over often. For the price, I prefer beefeater 24 or bombay sapphire.

Outstanding American gin... Leans into a citrusy, herbal botanical profile with classic juniper notes. Beautiful in cocktails, bringing a pretty unique profile of flavors, but that same profile makes you want to sip some neat for the experience.

Lots of pine on the nose. Flavor has a surprising amount of citrus, with a nice balance between the citrus and juniper. Warm going down. Great stuff!

Flaviar sample: orange, lemon, pepper with thick oily mouth feel. Flavorful but very long lasting pepper aftertaste

Very pleasant. Unique taste. Well done for a Michigan gin, but botanical mix isn't world class.
