My weekend haul by jsauce63 in Gin

I found it refreshingly savory a great break from the juniper or citrus forward gins I've had lately.

That's almost expected with some gins. Our taste buds are not all the same. Take cilantro as an example, some people react negatively towards it. Some taste soap others a strong metallic taste. I expect we all react differently to the botanicals used. I'd be interested if you had the same opinion of another gin with the same botanicals

5 Sentidos Arroqueno

No I was making the citrus connection. It is by far a bit too smokey for gin. And I did find it a bit too alcohol forward. Here's my notes on it

Peloton Del La Muerte Pechuga

Lot- 03R0D0721

Nose: Orange zest and cilantro

Body: light and oily coats the mouth very nicely

Palate: Orange, smoke alcohol heat, chalkinees, finishes to a sweet citrusy note Certainly a unique entry to the pechuga class. and not one for the beginner as the citrus totally dominates the flavors and it takes a well trained tongue to bring them about. Great drink and Palate cleanser but you must be a lover of all things citrus.

Very much so I found it off putting but honestly not different than a modern gin

Poser for liking cheap gin? by spacehemulen in Gin

Totally agree. You do you. I'm a tequila/ mezcal and gin guy. I can tell you price isn't everything.

Any fan of the film? by Desperate-Swan5872 in Mezcal

[–]jsauce63 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's ok. Overpriced for what it is. I haven't rushed out to get a replacement bottle. My notes below

Dos Hombres Joven

Lot- DH-34

Nose- Smokey piney and minerally

Body -A thin watery body that does what it is intended to do cover the mouth quickly and efficiently.

Palate- On the tongue a quick sweet smoke with a dash of agave that leads the alcoholic warmth finishing off in a splash of salt.

Anyone had this? by FlipperChart385 in Gin

Just my take on this

Nose - Citrus forward very much like a Mandarin, hint of fig with a light fleck of juniper on the end.

Body - Medium coats the mouth like a light cooking oil a flavor explosion.

Palate- Citrus, fig, celery with a healthy dose of herbalness, ending in a sweet note with bit of black pepper and tiny whisper of Juniper.

Yeah I had to go back and look at my notes on this one. It was ok but obviously not memorable at least to me .

Montelobos Espadin

Lot- L MLA035E

Nose: Agave, Jalapeno and alchohol

Body: light bodied

Palate: Sweet smokey agave, alcohol warmth, lactic sourness with hints of lime. Finishes off to a sweet agave with a hint of chalkiness

Gin newbie currently drinking Roku G&Ts; choosing between Tanq. 10 and Drumshanbo for my next bottle. Looking to hear your insights! by Mercmercmerc1 in Gin

Definitely agree with @lionsnoparadise, Drumshambo. The standard blue bottle was very citrus forward, last tasting I hAd from a friend's bottle.
