- Excerpt: Delectable and enticing. Powerful but not too brash, loaded with flavors I love. Really good stuff. I'm a bit surprised that I didn't know about these folks in Chicago until now, but when Covid lifts, it's road trip time for me.

- Excerpt: Although I wasn’t crazy about it in the G&T, I found that it worked when you really got down to mixing. I’d love to get a bit more juniper out of it, but the loud fennel and quite juniper works better than I might have guessed.

Intro:
Ginvitational Day 9! This is a gin distilled by Letherbee in Chicago, Illinois and leverages 11 botanicals. It's also available in 200ml flask sizes, which I think is pretty awesome. Let's get to it.
-
Nose:
Sweet and enticing, oh my. Crisp and effervescent, great grain here. Orange peel, rising bread, strong pepper and a really well integrated juniper note.
-
Taste:
Rich on the palate, strong and bold, lots of juniper, white pepper, lime. Bold, powerful, some heat.
-
Finish:
Long, sweet cream, pepper, lemon peel and rich cardamom. There's a lovely almond note that carries, really elegant finish on this one.
-
Overall:
Delectable and enticing. Powerful but not too brash, loaded with flavors I love. Really good stuff. I'm a bit surprised that I didn't know about these folks in Chicago until now, but when Covid lifts, it's road trip time for me.
