William Cadenhead Cadenhead's Old Raj Dry Gin Blue Label NV 750ml

The 55% abv blue label is one of the strongest and most expensive gins on the market. Look for the trademark faint yellowish-saffron tinge and herbal scent, with assertive pine and anise flavors and a tart lemony touch. Serve this overproof gin tamed with ice and lots of tonic.

I know you never ever see it and I know that it's not fashionable because of the abv, but my goodness this is a delicious gin that deserves a wider audience. #103/World's Top 120 Spirits

...the send and third sniffings, following ample aeration time, see the development of biscuity, rich aromas that feature atypical, but alluring and garden-like fragrances of flowers, orris root, and angelica; the fourth and final whiff stays the aromatic course plotted in the early passes... The palate entry is sweet and fruity, featuring for the first time the juniper berries; the midpalate is long, silky smooth, fruity, dry, and remarkably supple, even succulent. The finish brings the citrus more into play as the sweetness of the entry and midpalate gives way to a delightful tartness.
