"France- Esme Gin is a modern spin on the traditional botanicals found in London Dry Gin; a botanical blend of juniper, spice and infusions of cucumber and rose petals, giving the classic martini and gin and tonic cocktail an unmistakably elegant French twist."- Total Wine

  • Not exceptional, not a lot of anything, actually. Well, except lime. There's a lot of citrus.

  • While a good value for its price, overall it comes up short when appealing to fans of traditional London Dry and classic style gins, and it comes up short when appealing to fans of modern, contemporary gins.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Sweet, but artificial. Corn sweetness, artificial lime, lemon, potpourri.

  • Taste:

    Medium mouth feel. Juniper takes a back seat to white pepper, powerful lemon and lime, and orange peel. Reminds me a lot of Absolut Lime vodka, but with a creamy back sweetness.

  • Finish:

    Short, fruity, effervescent, then gone.

  • Overall:

    Not exceptional, not a lot of anything, actually. Well, except lime. There's a lot of citrus.
