Farmer's Botanical Organic Gin (Discontinued)

Pale yellow color. The nose offers notes of grapes, apples, floral elements, and grain alcohol, with earthy spice. On the palate, juniper is followed by lemongrass, coriander, citrus, and a hint of alcohol for impact. It has a creamy, soft texture and a finish that is long, spicy, dry, yet lemony, leaving a distinct tingle. I appreciate the narrative behind this gin and the company's dedication to organic and local sourcing. However, the distillation process inherently transforms organic materials (though not entirely, as the act itself fundamentally alters them), and not all non-GMO/organic-based distillates are exceptional, but this one... wow! The decisions made during distillation and the balance achieved among the ingredients are magnificent. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail, it's a versatile choice. This ranks among my preferred gins: Plymouth, Fords, Barr Hill, Sipsmith, Ransom, and Haymans.

Wonderful first impression on the nose, featuring subtle notes of juniper and florals. As the nose aired out, a peculiar medicinal note emerged. The palate and finish offer a pleasant equilibrium, with juniper once again present and harmoniously complemented by elderflower and lemon peel. What's truly noteworthy about this gin is its finish, characterized by an uncommon spice that persists, lending the overall impression a complexity rarely encountered in gin.

This is an outstanding gin and has rapidly become my preferred choice! It's not quite as juniper-forward as a London Dry, but due to the higher ABV, it performs exceptionally well in cocktails or a G&T. It’s light and delicious; I highly recommend it!

It makes an excellent martini. Coriander and citrus share the spotlight with juniper.

Remarkable for the $20 cost, minimal juniper and burn. Surprisingly mellow

Herbal lemongrass. Lemon cough drop flavor.
