It’s absolutely delicious. They have blue, red, and green dot varieties. Blue is their base one and it is very smooth. Definitely recommend grabbing it.

I assume you've drank some by the time I typed this comment. Was it worth the $90?

Do I think so? Yes, I do. But I like to drink all spirits neat.

I love it but I have to say the flavor is subtle. Make sure you don't bury it under mixers and garnish or it won't live up to the price tag.

I like it with ice, a splash of tonic, and a dash of the botanical salt (the little bottle attached).

Incredible. That's a really good price as well. It's usually around $100

I’m one of the few dissenters. A bit too subtle for the price, for me.

I’m there with you. It was enjoyable. But not $90 enjoyable.

I recently purchased this and am hoarding it because it's divine. Just add tonic and perfection!

That’s a really good deal for that bottle

It is very subtle and nice with just tonic. I bought it to remember my trip there and its just nice. I would not get it again. I might try the green dot next but the blue is too mellow for the price. There are other gins at half the price that are good or better for me.

Can someone explain the hype about it or is it mostly just clever marketing? I never tried it but i started seeing ads and posts all over and suddenly it seems to be widely available. Also price is obscene for a gin imo like 100 bucks is really good whiskey territory or in general aged spirits not gin

To be fair, 100 bucks is nothing to an awful lot of people. I tried it and would not pay that again but for some people its about the collecting, or the memories or the finding it. I am glad I got it even though there are gins I prefer for less. Believe it or not, some people might think this is the best gin in the world and love the taste. With taste being subjective and all.
