5The bottle smelled more expressive than I expected. I liked the green-apple flavour; the peppery finish made it feel complete rather than heavy. One of the more enjoyable options I've tried in this category.

2I tried this gin twice before settling on a rating. I tried changing the serve, but the bitterness felt one-dimensional. I wanted to like it more than I did.

4The first thing I noticed with this one was the aroma. The bright botanicals worked well, especially with soda; still, it came across too perfumed. Good enough to revisit, especially with the right serve.
