Couple of dont bother buying notes.

Blue Zephyr tastes like rubbing alcohol with juniper. Fair amount of burn also. In this now plentiful market of gins its just a waste of money with so many better options.

Sun Liqours Hedge Trimmer Gin. The first time I have come across a Washington State Gin i would not recommend. Nothing stood out to me about this gin. It had a large amount of burn neat and I could pick up the sasparilla they add in which im not a fan. In a G&T it just fades to almost nothing making it very boring.

Another don't bother- Bulldog, I tried it last weekend and thought it was over rated and not worth the money, was just OK. Rather have lost of other gins, the store had uncle Val's for $6 more I should've grabbed that, but I figured try as many gins as I can, I think the Botanist is next, anyone ever try before?

I've had The Botanist and it's decent but not impressive.

On the other hand, I really enjoy Bulldog. I'm not sure what you paid. I picked it up for $22.

I was at the Jersey Shore so prices are a little inflated! Wasn't bad just nothing to write home about. Thanks I'll skip the botanist, was at TW today and saw some small batch stuff that I'll try when I'm out of what I have left!
