Juniper Green Organic Gin

“Green Mana”

Juniper Green Organic Gin brings you to the peaceful state of mind.

When I was able to experience the aroma, the first thing that came to mind was peering over a waterfall and feeling the refreshing embrace of life.

Juniper Green takes me back to my exploring days at Starved Rock, when I could admire the wonderment of nature and appreciate being untouched by mankind. It’s a spiritual solitude that everyone needs to try at least once in their lifetime.

The taste comes to you like rich, earth soil filled with nutrients, there is no filtration here so you get an uncensored approach to gin that has never been offered before. It’s a bold move to take the extra steps to produce a gin so pure.

Indeed, there is a lingering taste that transforms into a feeling and a pure state of mind. I get a story of life and a new appreciation for organic  appetite.  I would be curious to know the story behind what drove the Juniper Green Organic Gin Distributor to support this product and reach out to me.

All in All, to take a London Dry Gin and make it organic takes a tremendous amount of knowledge, and with that knowledge, adds value. I admire the “stay the course” attitude with this spirit, and I look forward to a warm reception green movement. A truly remarkable journey.

Pros

  • Earth Friendly
  • Sparks Imagination
  • Tells an incredible story
  • Not to be taken for granted
  • Definitely Different
Cons
  • How do you convey value when someone has already made up their mind about gin?

Glenmore London Dry Gin Review

“The Sangria of Gins”

When is the last time you had something that over-delivered? We are talking about a product for 6.99, also the number of the beast, that truly stands out as an All Star Value.

This product is Glenmore Gin, it mixes well with fruit juice and soft drinks, and we are dying to have it in a custom made Sangria.

You just taste pure value that could get you into a little trouble if you’re not careful, but that’s life. In these tough economic times when you have Champagne taste on a shoe string budget, look no further than Glenmore London Dry Gin.

It seems a little displaced ,which could be used to play off it’s loud range, and it has a little bit of chalkiness that reminds me of charcoal. Could be that it is coming from Bourbon Country and some of the charred oak rubbed off on it.

I’d be willing to go all the way with this gin in a mixed drink provided the other ingredients were of high quality and worked well together. This is the good ole boy gin, what you see is what you get.

Pros

  • Extreme value that over delivers
  • Classic Approach that tells a tale of life and the good times
  • My go to mixer
  • not trying to oversell with marketing
  • Champagne taste on a shoestring budget

Cons

  • Will be overshadowed by Multi Million Dollar Brands

“Martin Miller’s”

Given the time for explorer’s was just, Martin Miller’s westbourne strength doesn’t disappoint, it exceeds all expectations.As the story goes, in 1999, British entrepreneur and bon viveur Martin Miller and two friends set out to create the finest gin possible, no expense spared.

Visual

This gin tells a story, not only from the visuals but everything else in between. This is not a gimmick, this is an epic. All the legends are true.  Iceland’s and London’s Flag are displayed proudly, presenting you the best of both worlds.  A nice nautical map shows the journey from London to the promise land, charting the hard work that goes into making this gin. Beautiful Frosted glass on the side give you a glimpse into climate change: Cold, Dark, Beautiful.

Aroma

Extremely floral, like a bouquet of flowers, like walking into a green house with your own personal garden of hand selection.

Imagine the cleanest, purest pleasure  in a glass that allows you to take a whiff. This is Martin Miller’s Westbourne Strength. You really smell quality here, and you are lifted to a higher state of ecstasy. A little bit of everything is here, from vegetation and flowers to smiling flavors and sunshine. We are quite please to stop and smell the roses. Formulation number 7, combines juniper, orange and lemon peel, coriander, licorice, cinnamon, cassia, nutmeg, angelica, and orris root all there for you to smell and enjoy. Perfectly Balance, this exceeds are expectations and raises the bar.

Entry

If you haven’t drank the water yet you need to. It’s like drinking the nectar of the Gods. The definition of Smoothness. The water makes all the difference, and Martin Miller has taken quality to a whole new level. 1500 miles one way, and well worth it.

At their expense, they bring you one of the finest gins mankind has to offer. A gin worth dying for over and over again. It’s amazing that when you gather a first impression of this gin, Martin Miller is able to blend all the ingrediant together into a satisfaction that would make the Rolling Stones blush.

MidPalate

Consistent as the beginning, and pure bliss. I’m smiling as passions run wild through my mind. There are no sour points here, just the essence of gin taken beyond the norm. The quality shines through here as it is as pure as their intentions. It’s an all in one experience with all expenses payed.

Aftertaste

Clean. Pure. Satisfying. Satisfaction is all I can get from this gin. This is a gin everyone needs to experience once in their lifetime. Maybe twice. I’m confident that this will produce a new standard that all other distilleries will tip their hat too. There’s just a sort of happiness that allows you to reflect on your new found discovery. Marvelous.

Bulldog Gin Review

June 27, 2011 By Leave a Comment

“British Bulldog”

Just like the name implies, Bulldog is tough and can stand it’s own against any gin, what’s different about it as a Kosher Gin and uses unique ingredients such as  poppy and dragon eye.

Visual

It would be pretty difficult to mistake a bulldog in your neighborhood, just as seeing this bottle would be. Nicely Rounded to be gripped at any angle which allows for simple pours. The collar which compliments control, makes this a bartenders dream come true. The bottle is black as night adventures, as the white on the bottle tells you Business in the front, Party in the back.

The cap is just fun to unscrew, try it a few times, and you will see what we mean.

Aroma

There’s a little bit of middle easter spice, it’s like you’re in the Sahara desert and you can smell the heat. And a bit of muskiness like a panther prowling its pray. The Night Stalker of Gin because it’s coming after all the other gins. Blue skys with relaxing fufillment let you stretch out on the beach, yacht or Caribbean cruise. I’m transported to the Rain forest to explore.

Entry

Very light kisses meet, almost elusive like you need to indulge yourself more just to make sure it’s real. This gin consumes you on entry, and starts off with not a bang, but a whisper. It’s enough to keep you curious and continue.

Midpalate

The enticing continues as you are whisked away with culture shock but it’s pleasant enough not to be shell shocked. I’m truly impressed and go for a second glass. Loyal to the entry and mid this journey continues.

Aftertaste

Bulldog Gin just beckons for you to drink more. Proud and guarding your movement, it welcome you to do just that. No heavy aftertaste and smooth enough to remind you of when you were in your 20′s. It’s youth in a bottle

Final Thought: Bulldog Gin just keeps getting better the more you drink it. With it’s rain forest roots to the modern club scene, Bulldog gin can party with the best of them.

Pro

  • A party every time you drink it
  • Initiates the club scene with hints of exploration
  • Keeps tradition and ingenuity in balance
  • I keep going back for more
  • I just can’t get enough

Cons

  • Might confuse some people

Beefeater Gin Review

March 20, 2011 By Leave a Comment

“Textbook Gin”

Another day in paradise, your senses are alive, and there’s a smile on your face.  On the back end you sense a waxiness, that offers its self from the Seville Orange Peel. Heavy Juniper cloaked around your cape as the sun salutes you. The coriander in this concoction has a lemony-orangey Character which complements the lemon and orange peel. What makes this Beefeater different is that there is enough Juniper to go around.

Beefeater lends itself to create a presence all it’s own, something one can fairly sip knowing you are drinking gin. While the richness of the ocean is the juniper, the froth on the top of the sea is the coriander. The angelica root, which we refer to as wild celery, hangs out of your mouth, as a gentle touch is necessary to find that perfect selection.  It brings visions of dark chocolate aromas, that quickly fade as the tide rolls in. Think of dark chocolate truffle kissed running down your neck.  Angelica root is responsible for bringing the romance to your summer beach nights, as it ties all the other ingredients of love together.

Hints of licorice swell to your next adventure, not knowing where it might take you, but feeling relaxed all the same. Basking in the the glorious day of sunshine replenishment.  Knowing you are on an European  Beach lets the licorice candy run wild through your imagination. It’s a classic tradition that carries you away from day to night.

Almonds send you into Ecstasy bringing your lips closer for one last touch, and the closeness of Orris is not far behind, used in the world’s best perfumes. It’s the seductive quality that leads you on this ten ticket thrill ride, a roller coaster of emotion, that that is left in your mouth at the end of the ride.

Beefeater is a Gin that I could indulge myself in all night long, wanting more.

Pros

  • Classic Gin at it’s best
  • Phenomenal Value
  • Aromatic Ecstasy
  • Consistent Ambiance
  • Available Everywhere

Cons

  • I’m all out
