Tasting Notes:

Bottle # 06A 09964
Botanicals are: nutmeg, cubeb berry, ginger, liquorice, juniper, green cardamom, coriander, green grape flower, and cassia bark.
Floral and aromatic nose with an herbal character, some apparent nutmeg, and underlying juniper.
Strong juniper on the palate but this gin lacks body (maybe because of the lower proof than many gins). There are some peppery notes but it seems too light.
Extremely overpriced.
