Far from your typical gin, the blackberry runs strong on this to have it land a touch on the sweet side, but that is what makes it so good. The other botanicals play a role in crafting the taste but you get exactly what you would expect from this Blackberry infused Gin. This was a sample but I will need to acquire a full bottle of it in the future.
