Rating: 5/10

This is an interesting tasting gin. The brine is very forward and almost manages to bury the juniper, but you still get that classic “forest/pine tree vibe. A bit heavy on the vegetal aspects due to the botanicals this one is a bit weird but in a good way. A bit off from a “classic gin’, but one I would be happy to have in my rotation, as I bet it would make a good Gin Rickey.
