To be fair, I don't typically drink gin. However, I sampled this at the distillery and was incredibly impressed by its smooth drinkability, the amazing depth and vibrancy of the botanicals, and I enjoyed every bit of it.

Better than average and smooth. Would make a fine mixer. Less floral than the autumn 2019 gin...so I prefer this one.
A well-balanced gin. If you ever tour the distillery, consider trying the Strawberry Summer Smash made with Roots of Ruin.
Adaptable. Made with botanicals sourced from Kentucky.
This gin offers a pleasant taste and lingering end.
Superior to the typical gin.
