This gin is made in a more traditional fashion, with juniper starring in the show - with Central City macerating the juniper rather than distilling through it to get a heavier juniper character (they also distill through other botanicals in a basket in the still). It is bottled at a higher than usual percent (43%) and uses Rocky Mountain juniper and spruce tips, among other botanicals.

I quite like the juniper forward nature of this one – it is forward and rich. My own preference is to favour juniper and I like it more than many of the modern, lighter botanical (and not juniper) forward gins. But, some prefer the more modern, lighter style of gins. But I like this – rich and thick. Rich, woody, spicy, and citrus aromas on the nose lead into a palate with light vanilla, buttery spirit base, and light mixed spices including coriander and a hint of nutmeg. The finish is full of juniper, citrus, and a bit of lemon. I quite like this!
It is incredibly drinkable, and I like the clean yet heavy character of the gin. A nice find!
Assessment: Highly Recommended.
