AI Sensory Summary

"Reviewers describe the gin's aroma as soft with notes of juniper, pine, citrus, coriander, and hints of cinnamon or Olbas oil tablets, while characterizing the palate as creamy and slightly sweet with flavors of citrus, coriander, licorice, and rootiness. The finish is variously described as powerful and dry, pleasant, or lingering with fresh juniper, licorice, and parma violets. Several reviewers note that the spirit has a smooth character that lacks the pronounced juniper bite of other London dry gins, though one commentator misses that sharper edge. Opinions on overall quality diverge significantly, with some tasters regarding it as a nuanced and classic gin, while detractors criticize it for an unappealing woody flavor, a chemical taste, or finding nothing good about it."
