1oz neat. Juniper and earthiness (probably the pecan) on the nose. A quality I can only describe as vapor-like on the tongue. Flavors of juniper, lavender, and anise with a woody finish (again, probably the pecan). Nice and floral gin. Makes me want to look for the antique version for a little more character.
This gin’s distinctive lavender notes never overpower the senses or other accompanying spirits. Instead, Waterloo No. 9 offers a wonderful expansion to a cocktail’s flavor profile. In a classic 50:50 martini or G&T, depth and complexity are added to the palate.
The floral lavender is up front in both nose and taste and the juniper takes more of a back stage. Less sweet than say Tanqueray. A bit more dryness on the tongue than tanq. Its up there in my gin world so I plan to always stock.
Very floral and balanced. Nice gin and tonic with elderflower tonic.
Great botanic flavor. Mostly smooth.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
