Very floral, but only one distinct note, which I prefer over most floral gins. Mixed with fever tree, the hibiscus is very pronounced. Not excessively alcoholic. A great choice for an uncomplicated cocktail.

I'm not enjoying this at all. It's far too sweet and lacks the depth I seek. As others have noted, there's virtually no juniper, and it strikes me as overly cloying.
Very light, sweet. It's enjoyable and the best GIN to introduce to people now.
