Port of Entry Gin

End of Days PORT OF ENTRY Gin *NOSE: Juniper, Lemon and Orange Peel, Vanilla Sweetness from the 100% Corn Base Spirit, Hay, and Light Floral. Smells like it will work in all types of Gin Cocktails from savory to citrusy to sweet. *PALATE: Thick, Oily, and Viscous. Juniper, Lots of Lemon Peel, Mint, Eucalyptus, Vanilla or Floral Sweetness, and Black Pepper. Probably leans just a tick to the Modern Side thanks to the Heavy Citrus influence, but there is plenty of Juniper to satisfy most traditionalists. Leaves a very nice coating of Lemon on the palate. VERDICT: One of the better new Gins I've tried lately. Definitely a step up from the 704 Gin I reviewed a couple weeks ago (although it is about $8 more). I could drink this on its own or in any number of cocktails. End of Days is the definition of Small and Craft, operating out of a modified Quonset Hut in the Cargo District of Wilmington NC. They definitely deliver on the quality. **Interesting Side Note: the bottle for their Port of Entry Series is the same as the original Legent Bourbon bottle, and the bottle for their Castaway Series is the same one used by Patrón Tequila.
