For a straightforward London Dry at 42%, this has more going on than you'd expect. The botanical balance is excellent and there's a lovely smoothness to the finish. Well worth seeking out.

Good But Hard to Find
It's a competent London Dry at 42% with pleasant juniper and decent balance, but there's nothing that makes me want to hunt it down internationally. If you're in New Zealand, definitely try it; otherwise, there are more accessible options.
