This mixture smells of juniper and fresh citrus. The taste is very crisp and fruity, lots of lime juice and peel flavor, with a hint of floral orange blossoms. The finish is long and mellow; a low bitterness from the quinine and botanicals, but at only about half the intensity of the fruity flavors up front. Overall, this is a great gin for mixing, and the restrained botanicals and fruit forward flavor make it a good gin for newcomers to try.
