Vigilant Navy Strength Gin

14: The nose is strong and and a ginny with a bit of umami that isn't too great. It doesn't smell like anything much. The palate has a low of mineral and an interesting oily sweetness like Fortaleza Blanco and a big prickly burn. It's kind of interesting, but not super interesting and it's a bit odd. There's some pretty substantial fruitiness here that it a bit tropical with some banana, apple, and mango. I guess it's pretty good, but it seems like more of an acquired taste. There's eventually a substantial juniper element. It's missing some of the profile that it should have, but there is sufficient richness and fruitiness is nice in how it doesn't have any floral flavor with it. This finish is solid. The more I drink it, the more I like it.
