Description:

Taaka Gin has a nose of primarily juniper— piney, with a subtle citrus hue. It's rather mild but unmistakably gin. The palate is again slightly mild.

It has a long and rather warm finish, but never overpowering. It's actually quite nice for a “bargain gin” as it resists the cliche of those hot, ethanol finishes. Perhaps it's the rather modest 40% ABV speaking here, but Taaka Gin is better than I expected based on the bottle alone.
