750 ml bottle from jtclockwork, thanks James. 2015 vintage. Deep brown color with red highlights, tons of carbonation. Aroma is dried fruits, booze, toffee, mild funk. I don't think this is suppose to be funky. Gin comes off as with a lot of warming after the sip, (straight up booze) Yeah, funk is out of place. If you have bottles of this, open right now. It is going in the other direction.

Bottle. Pours hazy hazel, very large off-white head, dissipates fairly quickly, decent lacing. Aroma is ginny, toffee, a bit dusty, caramel. Flavor is medium sweet, light plus bitter. Super carbonated. Medium light body. Seems to be a bit of a bottle riot happening, but no tartness detected. I think the body has thinned out, and the overcarb is offputting, but the flavors are still ok. Lots of ABV burn.
