The judges found it to be classic and perhaps a benchmark in the Gin category.
TASTING NOTE
Brilliant, crystal clear. The aromatics are very intense, presenting scents of juniper, citrus zest, and orange blossom with supporting notes of lemongrass. The palate is more intense than the nose delivering a juniper-driven core with flavors of coriander, lemon zest, and Meyer lemon. The finish is dry. Medium-bodied and nicely balanced with a chewy texture.
