A brilliant fusion of spices and classic Oriental flavors, Ginologist Orient, is a richly warm London Dry Gin that should be savored and appreciated. With gentler notes of orange and honeybush to complete the nose, strong notes of juniper and licorice are immediately recognizable. The mixture of spices results in a dry gin that is delicate, warm, and energizing. The flavors are expertly blended to highlight the powerful juniper and nuances of fennel, rooibos, and honeybush.

2022 USA Spirits Ratings Judges Tasting Notes 

“Flavors of juniper are incredibly well-balanced with citrus and spices with undertones of lime and lemons. Excellent balance, followed by a resinous finish. Pairs well with a splash of soda.”
