Tinkerman's Curiously Bright and Complex Gin (75cl, 46%)

Tinkerman's Curiously Bright and Complex Gin is a gin made from 100% American grain by Brian Prewitt, Master Distiller at A. Smith Bowman Distillery. It combines maceration and vapor distillation, with a botanical bill that includes green tea, ginger and lemongrass alongside heavier juniper emphasis. The label discloses a majority of the botanical bill and includes distillation notes that change from release to release. Reviewers describe warm jasmine green tea and resiny juniper, mild lemon, ginger and orange, lemongrass, lime leaves, bay, green tea, cinnamon and cassia. Both reviews agree it drinks best in cocktails rather than as a simple sipper.
