Herno Gin
London Dry 40.5% ABV
25 February 2026
Good but Perhaps Overpraised
Herno is undeniably well-made, but at 40.5% I find the London Dry profile a touch restrained. The botanicals are pleasant without being thrilling. It is a very good gin, but the hype had me expecting something transcendent.
