When tasting this gin, it's no surprise that a well-known distiller is behind this classic spirit. It's a bit drier than another popular London dry, and it's become my everyday choice. A truly fantastic example of a London dry gin, made right here. I'm typically not a big fan of American gins, but this is my go-to. If tasted blind, you'd swear it came from London. It's perfect for my G&T's, and also works well in a Negroni.

About this bottle
Rieger's Midwestern Dry Gin was developed with guidance from Tom Nichols, formerly Tanqueray's master distiller. This interpretation of London Dry style, originating from the Midwest, includes juniper, coriander, angelica root, licorice root, and orange peel, all combined with a wheat-derived neutral spirit. It was launched in the autumn of 2015.

I'll admit I'm not a huge gin fan, but this was quite tasty, even neat. It has a pleasant, mild piney yet sweet flavor profile, not overly bitter or reminiscent of grain alcohol. The aroma is medicinal, though.
Quintessential London Dry style gin. The botanicals are stunning.
An acceptable local gin.
Pure!
