Russel Scales 4.0

I believe this is a very good, mild, cucumber-forward option. It's not superior to Hendricks, but it offers the closest flavor profile. It's like a diluted version of Hendricks. Definitely enjoyable and I'll keep it in my collection.

Suzanne Cosby 4.5

Really light and refreshing. A bit sweet. Less cucumber-like than Hendricks but still in the same category. Excellent with soda and lemon. Delicious!

Gussie Pena 4.3

Abundant flavor, floral character. I tried it with lime and do not suggest it. It is much better enjoyed neat or in a martini to fully appreciate all the tastes.

Albert Robert

A companion mentioned she likes it because it “tastes like nothing”... essentially, it's like vodka. It has no distinct flavor.

Kiara Shanks 3.5

Cucumber and rose.
