INDOGGO Gin

I'm sampling from a 50ml portion. I have no clue why I purchased this, aside from the fact that the celebrity is always amusing. It's even more amusing that gin would be his chosen spirit to market, but a flavored spirit is a safe bet for any celebrity-endorsed alcohol. Thankfully, it pours clear. 'All-natural strawberry flavoring' is quite off-putting to an enthusiast. The aroma, however, is packed with artificial strawberry, both sweet and sour. No juniper is detectable, but there are faint floral notes and an even fainter hint of black pepper. It certainly tastes like a flavored spirit. The initial taste is as anticipated, full of strawberry candy and coating your mouth like sugar. A positive for me is that it's still 80 proof, and after the initial sweet impact, a standard full spirit is present, though brief and simple. A spice and juniper combination lingers in the finish, but the strawberry coating is unavoidable. I had no expectations of enjoying this, but it's always entertaining to try and mock celebrity liquors (as long as you don't buy a full bottle). This flavored gin was obviously designed for people doing shots at parties, and it's easy to drink that way. If the only appeal of gin for you is the name or the people who drink it, put a bottle of this on ice, and you'll surely be the life of the party.

The nose is actually quite pleasant, if a little artificial smelling, reminding me of foil-wrapped strawberry hard candies with a gooey center. However, the taste is nowhere near as enjoyable. It's paradoxically both overwhelmingly sweet and overwhelmingly bitter. The strawberry flavor tastes unnatural, and while the juniper comes through, it's somewhat lackluster. The overwhelmingly dominant flavor mellows out on the finish, and honestly, it's not terrible. I can't justify purchasing it for just the nose and finish, though. Sorry Snoop.

Artificial strawberry and grape on the nose, not much else. It tastes like someone mixed a Kool-Aid packet with a mid-range vodka. The liquid, contrary to the bottle's appearance, is clear, not indigo. For the cost, I'd expect them to at least use butterfly pea flower tea for a cool color. The only intriguing aspect of this gin is its strange flavor. Whether you're a fan or not, your money would be better invested elsewhere.

MASSIVE amounts of artificial flavor and sweetness, even though the rapper assured otherwise... Reminds me of strawberry Pop Rocks from childhood. Very little juniper, a very brief finish (except for a lingering strawberry candy taste way in the back of your mouth). To put it simply, this gin doesn't mix well with ANY juice. After just one drink, you'll want to move on to something better, forgetting about this one.

A distinct strawberry aroma is present, followed by a full strawberry taste. Juniper is absent, and the finish resembles vodka. This is recommended for those who dislike gin; it's essentially a strawberry-flavored vodka. It might work well in a screwdriver but falls short as a gin and tonic, even with a strawberry garnish.

Whatever this is, it is not Gin. It's more like a flavored Vodka. The strawberry flavor is too strong, artificial, with a very sweet smell. I bought a small bottle out of curiosity, and I definitely won't have the big bottle on my shelf. It's a definite pass.
