Gin, dry vermouth. The most debated drink in history needs no introduction.

Tasting Notes

Juniper (pine, resinous), citrus peel (lemon, grapefruit, yuzu), coriander (warm spice), angelica root (earthy, dry), orris root (violet, powdery), cassia (cinnamon warmth), cardamom, cubeb pepper, cucumber, rose, lavender. London Dry leans juniper-citrus-spice. New Western foregrounds florals, fruits, or exotics. The nose tells you the style before the first sip.
