Review #634; Gin #14: Oakland Spirits Co Automatic No. 5

This gin is new to me and I have not been able to find a ton of info on it. However, we do know that it is made with a grape base spirit. With that being said let us see how it is.

ABV: 46%

Nose: Vegetal, Bell Peppers, Earthiness, Orange Peel, Lemon Zest, Raisin.

Palate: Light Mouthfeel, Vegetal, Carrot, Bell Pepper, Brine, Earthy, Lemon Zest

Finish: Short finish. Burst of Lemon, Raisin, cinnamon

Rating: 5/10

Overall, a fine offering. It has good base flavors, but would do well in cocktail I would think. I do not find that all the flavors mesh very well for me. I look forward to trying a few other gin expressions from this distillery.
