New Riff Kentucky Wild Gin Review
Perhaps because it's made by a distillery known for whiskey, but the grain character from the base distillate stands out on this gin. And that's a good thing. It lends a heady spice to the nose, which pairs well with the more subtle fruit aromas. The palate takes a bright, citrusy turn, and lands a tingling peppery finish.
