Spotted Bear Spirits Bright Citrus and Floral Botanicals Gin 750ml

Spotted Bear Spirits makes this gin in Whitefish, Montana, at the edge of Glacier country, and it belongs to the contemporary school rather than the London dry one: juniper is present but it shares the stage instead of running it. Citrus and flowers lead, with lemon and orange peel and elderflower on the nose, then citrus oil, rose and chamomile across the palate over a light juniper spine, finishing clean and bright. If pine-forward gin has never appealed to you, this is the gentler route in. Pour it into a gin and tonic with a grapefruit wedge, or shake a French 75 where the floral side can carry the drink.
