"Clear. Candied lemon and sweet herbal juniper aromas follow through on a mild entry to a dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body with whipped cream, orange gelatin, and pepper notes. Finishes with a spicy peppercorn, lemon pudding, and sweet cream fade. A solid, well made gin that has a fruity appeal."

"Clear. Sweet aromas of tangerine gelatin candy, citrus frosting and delicate juniper follow through on a smooth, silky entry to a dryish medium body with rice candy, orange salt water taffy, mild pine sap notes. Finishes with a dry-yet-fruity dreamsicle stick-like, herb, and wet stone fade. A little confected, but very nice and highly approachable."

"Clear. Aromas of cream of wheat, brown sugar, licorice, and delicate peppery spices follow through on a supple, satiny entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body with citrus and peach custard and herbal juniper notes. Finishes with a vibrant anise seed, citrus marmalade on a sweet wheat cracker, and white pepper fade. A smooth, lively gin and will shine in cocktails. Gold Medal."
Made with wheat and juniper berries from Washington Island, Wisconsin.

"The opening whiffs pick up citrus zest; aeration brings out juniper berry. The palate entry focuses totally on the juniper, and then at midpalate the lemon zest is unmistakable and adds a note of keen acidity. Finishes on the citrusy side of the street and a little bit fiery." 80-84 pts.

Clear. Moderately light-bodied. Fat, lush sweet citrus-peel aromas are a standout and a signature of this gin. Shows a softly textured mouthfeel and flavors that follow from the nose.

From right here in Chicago, a beautiful, aromatic London dry gin.
"Vibrant aromas of fresh herbs and spices, piney juniper, and twisted lemon peels jump from the glass. A silky entry leads to a fruity-yet-dry medium-full body of bold cracked juniper berry, pink peppercorns, lemon curd, clove, and pastry frosting flavors. Finishes with a long interplay of resiny juniper, sweet citrus and brown spices. A superb gin that virtually bristles with fresh, 3-D flavors. Very impressive!"
