Anyone who describes this as "just an ordinary gin" clearly doesn't recognize the scent (or taste) of frankincense and myrrh. These are ancient resins, famously associated with the Christmas narrative, possessing a distinct aroma and flavor. As someone very familiar with both, I can confirm I was astonished to detect both in this gin—subtly but undeniably, and beautifully—as an excess would be overwhelming! My challenge to you: acquire some of each (they are commonly available in stores), burn them, and then sample this gin to see for yourself. It's remarkable.

Excellent with Fever Tree Tonic Water. A clean, straightforward gin with good flavor characteristics.
A decent gin, lacking truly captivating flavor, but the bottle's narrative adds an enjoyable element.
