Precise nose of beeswax and juniper that becomes clove and chive, jasmine carnation and magnolia, candied lemon peel, ginger and dill. The palate is juniper berry leaping from the glass, juniper flower, bee pollen, orange blossom, lemon blossom, coriander, violets, lavender, peppercorn edge, celeriac root, and depth! This is thick fare, with heat and resonance. #barrhill #barrhillgin #caledoniaspirits #caledoniaspiritsbarrhillgin #gin #moderngin #vermont #vermontgin #juniper #rawhoney #craftgin — 4 years ago

Straw and grass cuttings combine with wildflowers to vie with juniper. Dried coconut and ripe pineapple slices herald tropical lemon and lime and ginger snaps with a lychee surprise that includes dill lemongrass and sassafras. Lemon oil and dilute lime unfold to expose pine and imposing juniper, sweet basil and a textural mint sensation. Prickly neat, but add a cube and voila! instant roundness and integration of parts bordering on perfection. Medicinal in feeling only; lingering and potent. Light on the tonic, and if you must garnish, I suggest a small wedge of lime or cucumber, otherwise it is a botanical delight. Healing anyone?
