Tasting Notes:

Light golden color.
Hints of vanilla and cinnamon on the nose accompany soft pepper and spicy juniper.
Very bold and tannic juniper on the palate. There is also rich toasty oak that exhibits a touch of cinnamon. Some of the subtle note of citrus on the Corsair gin get masked by the oak. Overall this is a very bold gin almost in the vein of a genever. The oak even takes the boldness to a bit of another level.
Unique and well worth a try.
