Excerpt: Overall, this is an earthy, woody gin. Star anise, cedar and cardamom lead the nose and palate, finishing with a warm cinnamon spark. Hops is one of the key botanicals, contributing to that earthy/woody perception.

House Review
Intro:
Ginvitational Day 33! Based on Twisted Path's Vodka, this expression takes their 100pf distillate and infuses it with 11 organic botanicals, notably cinnamon, hops and honeybush. Let's give it a go.
Nose:
Really pungent, sweet and fruit forward. Some fruit must, pepper, juniper.
Taste:
Rich on the palate. Honey, sesame seeds and almond, lemon curd, pepper. A bit of heat.
Finish:
Short finish, a bit hot, some sesame seed and baked bread. Apple, pears, cream, pepper.
Overall:
Fun and interesting, but not quite up my alley. It's well made, a good gin, but I'd reach for other bottles first.
