No. 209 Gin From San Francisco 750ml
Review Date: 10-17-2011
Leslie Rudd has always had a magic hand, whether as a midwest spirits distributor, owner of Dean and DeLuca, Rudd Vineyards creator, or with sponsoring No. 209.
The quality of this gin is astounding; mellow, clear in it's purity, subtle flavors and clean finish. Despite all the rhetoric about other handcrafted gins, whether English or US, this is simply and truthfully the very finest gin I have ever tasted. It is a sin to do more to it than pour a smidge over two ice cubes (a few drops of lemon for an exclamation point) and consume.
When I ran through my last bottle from K&L I went to other gins from both sides of the pond. They all left me feeling as though my best lover had left me. Fine but just not as great.
From a wine lover who rarely consumes distilled, don't miss this spirit. It is astounding!
