Gin BA fighting for its life here vs X2 jamminess.wish I didn't miss out on the gin member pick but this is the closest I'll get to tasting that herbal rocket fuel. Hints on nose and boozy lingering finish work so well! Delish! World needs more gin BA.

Very dark brownish red, looks thick. Smells strong berrycherry, boozy, some relatively subtle gin. Thick body, boozy, slight sharpness from barrel. Taste is sweet first, followed by a ton of cherry, berry and currant. Gin works very nicely, adds herbality
