Whitley Neill Pink Grapefruit

I have a fruit confession. I do not like grapefruit. When I was asked to review Whitley Neill's Pink Grapefruit gin, I was dedicated to the task but genuinely concerned that this might not go well. Inspired by the citrus groves of Spain, this gin utilizes botanicals such as Cassia Bark, Orris Root, Chamomile and Lime Flowers to compliment its Iberian Pink Grapefruit. The nose is fresh! Light grapefruit, grassiness and the smell after a spring rainshower. Sips start lightly sweet and transition to tingling peppercorn. The flavour flows quickly via orange citrus to a finish of not-overwhelming grapefruit bitterness and cloves. This feels less like a "gack!" bitter and more like cocktail bitters in palate. While the bitters-esque flavour stays with me, it pairs well with the gin's initial sweetness remaining on my lips. I'd think that this would make quite a refreshing summer cocktail. Might this gin convert this grapefruit-averse lady? Time will tell, but I'm pleasantly surprised.  7.25/10
