James Gin American Mustard Review
There is the intense aroma of French’s yellow mustard on the nose of this unconventional British gin, giving you an immediate WTF?! sensation. Dive in for a sip and it’s even more savory: mustard, coriander, anise seed, maybe some tangy relish notes … and are you just imagining a hint of beefy hot dog ? It’s jarring. And then you keep going back for another sip and soon realize: this works. It’s no gimmick, but, rather, one of the more interesting, more cohesive craft gins out there. Not to be missed.
