Very interesting with a strong cardamom and anise flavor.

Andrew, Aug 26, 2018

Great taste and very smooth. Delicious on the rocks

Best Gin I've tasted

I’m not a gin enthusiast and I could totally drink this. Juniper with a hint of lemon or lemongrass makes this very drinkable.

Nose has juniper as expected, but also strong, bright citrus zest (oranges and lemons), accented with florals underneath. Lavender notes lead the flavors up front, along with an earthy yet sweet tone from sarsparilla, somwhere between liquorice and root beer. Juniper gradually becomes more present with its evergreen flavors harmonizing nicely with the sweet and floral ones. The finish is spicy both from the rye-based spirit and cardamom, with juniper, anise and sarsparilla carrying through. Mouth-feel is very smooth, slick and oily... this is a gin one can really 'chew' on when sipping neat. In a G&T the lavender and sarsparilla are unlocked, giving a sweet, refreshing result, like an artisinal soda-pop. Overall this is an outstanding gin with amazing texture and a strong, but deftly harmonized flavor profile. Drinkers of the juniper-forward London Dry purist school may eschew this one, as the ubiquitous berry here works more in an ensemble than in a leading role, but for rhe adventurous gin fan this is definitly a must-try.

I am not a gin drinker but this could change my mind. I drank this straight and was intrigued by the complex flavors.

Nathan, Jun 28, 2018

An amazing gin! I'm not the biggest gin drinker but I would drink this down all day

What a bargain for this at $35. If ketel one were a gin, it would taste like this. Lemon up front. A little floral. Then spicy. Good on the rocks or as a mixer. I still prefer Brooklyn on the rocks and Hendrick’s for a mixer, but you can’t go wrong with this.

Great all around gin. I like it in my tom collins

Gin and tonic tends to be my standard cocktail. My first impression of Aviation was good, but there was just something I didn’t like. Just a hint of a ‘heavy’ taste which I think they listed as blood on the flavor wheel. Not my favorite.

Chris, May 14, 2018

I’m not a fan of gin, but this was great! Got it in a Tasting Box, and have to admit I want more! Very pleasantly surprised and definitely changed my mind about gin.

John, May 12, 2018

This Gin surprised the hell out of me. I usually avoid gin because I don't want to drink a pine tree. This is nothing like that at all. It's floral and I also get a heavy cardamom note.

Deborah, May 1, 2018

My new favorite Gin, love in Gin & Tonic with lime or on its own. Very refreshing.

Erin, Apr 10, 2018

Not being totally in love with gin, this is one I enjoy. Smooth, with gentle floral notes that make it a great gin for simple cocktails or just to sip.

Craig, Apr 10, 2018

Tastes like gin. I didn't like it as much as Ryan Reynolds apparently does.

ALICIA, Apr 7, 2018

Good strong flavor.

Stacy, Mar 30, 2018

My go-to gin! Great on the rocks with a twist of lime or in nearly any cocktail.

Heather, Mar 28, 2018

Loved the smoothness of the gin with and without the tonic. It has just a nice hint of spice from the anise along with the notes of lavendar and citrus.

Frederick, Mar 24, 2018

One of my favorite Gin, starts out sweet with hints of lavender, and finishes with the spices. Very smooth.

John, Mar 22, 2018

Not a fan of any gin

Nathaniel, Mar 9, 2018

My Brother's the "Gin Drinker" Bombay is his Favorite..He tried this....real smooth...Better than Bombay....

John, Mar 9, 2018

Best Gin I ever tasted. Very smooth wit a lot of flavor. A little spicy with nice orange hint. You can also taste the Lavender

Robert, Mar 6, 2018

I enjoyed this gin. I found it a bit more harsh with the spice and cardamom than most gins I've had, but the taste was pleasant and refreshing.

Matt, Feb 22, 2018

Bought it twice... 2 thumbs up... plan on going well beyond the “3 times a charm”... I was charmed on the first drink... good for G&T’s and Martinis dirty.

Jason, Feb 18, 2018

I love gin and this was a good gin. The aroma was as expected which is a good sign to me. The flavor was easy to take in and enjoy.

Edvard, Feb 16, 2018

Nose feels somehow interesting but the taste... Taste is a big fail

Katherine, Feb 8, 2018

Would make an excellent dirty martini

Deja, Feb 3, 2018

I hate it.

Barry, Apr 9, 2017

Impressively smooth and sweet. Great combination of botanicals that makes you say "wow". For the price this cannot be beat. Drink it straight or in a martini... no disappointments
