Juniper right off the bat upon nosing. Some citrus adds an overall brightness to the aroma. The taste has more of the citrus character, while piney briskness plays a secondary role. Some sweetness in the gin as well, keeping this from the "London Dry" category. A reasonable gin if used in fruit forward cocktails.
Nose full of peppercorns, with grapefruit, juniper, lemon, corn. Palate citrusy, peppery, lemon/lime, juniper, white dog whiskey. Spicy finish.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
