Manly Spirits Coastal Citrus Gin, produced in Sydney, Australia, is bottled at 43% ABV in a 700ml format. Inspired by the Australian coast, it features botanicals including juniper, lemon aspen, fresh coriander leaf, sea parsley, lemon myrtle and Meyer lemon.
Overall, a gin doesn’t have to work in all cocktails to be a good gin. However, I think a good gin should have some balance. For all the fun and interesting things it does, it feels overly herbal and lacks some brightness you might expect from a citrus gin— or some spice counterpoints to round out the herbal notes.
