This reads great, but vanishingly few of the novel gins I’ve actually tasted (admittedly, a very small minority of what is now available) have been compelling. Too weird, or simply forgettable. There was one, though: an Elg gin from Denmark with carrots amongst the botanicals. Mostly a classical dry gin, but the carrots were definitely there, and it was not a bad thing.
I know there's a carrot gin out of Maine, but I haven't had the Danish version. I've tasted very few of these as well, but the few I've had have been intriguing. I'm not much of gin drinker, so don't have much to compaire it to. But I'm happy to see the experimentation and creativity. Some will survive and thrive; most won't.
