I have tried several different kinds of gin in the past and liked none of them. Some of them were highly regarded and popular but I just did not like them. However my family got us a tour at a local craft distillery that does gin. I was not expecting to like it at all, but it was actually good. So I went in with negative expectations and enjoyed it. It was good stuff. So I know a very small amount about what a local craft distillery does, but I know nothing about the big brands. What does a craft distillery or small scale or local or something do different than the big popular name brands that I can look for in a gin?
Haha, I’m gonna leave it in for entertainment value
I’m an old school gin drinker, from the Time Before all these small batch gins. I like the pine note (from the juniper berry used in gin). Tanquery has a very strong juniper note, you probably won’t like it.
That pine note is what people tend to dislike about gin.
I really like all these other gins with different botanicals, especially the citrus ones. It’s a whole new gin game now.
