5This one made more sense with tonic and ice. The balance between dry finish and floral edge was what won me over. I'd happily choose it again.

3Cherrapunji Eastern Craft Gin had a few things going for it. It had a decent fresh citrus; after that, the botanicals felt muddled. Some good points, though the balance didn't fully work for me.

4Cherrapunji Eastern Craft Gin was better when sipped slowly. There was enough clear juniper to keep me interested, even though the botanicals felt muddled. Still a good pick and one I'd have again.
