I contrasted it with Hendrick's (my favorite G&T gin), Nolet's Silver, and Bombay Sapphire.
The Nolet's is the furthest from a traditional London Dry Gin that I've tried. Very peachy. The Bombay Sapphire bottle will probably never get finished.

I've always been off put by the perfumy-ness of botanicals in gin -- but a dry gin could prove tempting.
Thanks for the report -- and enjoy!
