Sad Gin

"If you were stranded on a desert island and could only bring one thing with you, what would it be?"

"Gin."

Probably not the answer my principal was looking for at our staff team builder....but at least Ms. J and I got a kick out of it. Speaking of gin, I have had this bottle for a bit now and not done a review. Probably because....I don't like it. Say what?! I can't exactly put my finger on it. I think maybe it's too floral? Or lavender-y. It was disappointing because it received rave reviews. It was one of four gins to get a spot on the Top 50 Spirits of 2012. I've tried it straight, with tonic, and in mixed drinks but somehow the cloying flavor still gets me. I'm so sad. I've never met a gin I actively disliked.

So sad.
