Tasting this gin, it’s no coincidence that Tom Nichol is behind this classical gin. A little drier than Tanqueray, it has become my daily drinker. A really wonderful example of a London dry gin, made in Kansas City. I’m usually not a big fan of American gins, but this is my go to gin. Blind tasting, you would think this came from the heart of London. Perfect for my G&T’s, but also works well in a Negroni.
I will admit I'm not a big gin drinker, but this was pretty tasty, even straight. It has a nice mild piney but sweet flavor profile and not too bitter or too much like grain alcohol. The nose is medicinal, however.
Classic London Dry gin... botanicals are gorgeous
