Ginvitational Day 31! Today's gin comes from Griffo Distilling, and this is their take on a crisp English gin. This particular bottle is bottle #397 from Batch #18. Let's get to it!
I really like this one. This gin from Griffo is sweet, clean, bright and fun. It cuts through citrus in a cocktail with ease, and zazzes up a Gin and Tonic with flying colors.
This Sonoma County-made gin has a neutral aroma and zingy lemon-peppery palate. Citrusy acidity sets the mouth watering—Meyer lemon is one of the key botanicals—while whispers of rosewater and honeydew melon linger into an elongated finish braced up with white pepper.

House Review
Nose:
Bright, floral, effervescent. Tons of coriander, some lavendar, pepper and juniper. Fresh snap of citrus. Bright and fun.
Taste:
Medium mouth feel. Coats nicely. Faint pinprick of heat, but well behaved. Honey, pepper, some floral notes and pepper. Coriander and cardamom balance nicely. Really clean on the palate.
Finish:
Long finish, lots of pepper and juniper, with a hint of lavender, sourdough, lime and honey seeing things out.
Overall:
I really like this one. This gin from Griffo is sweet, clean, bright and fun. It cuts through citrus in a cocktail with ease, and zazzes up a Gin and Tonic with flying colors.
