There’s something life affirming about the forest – a walk out amongst the pines, particularly in the Pacific northwest, puts things in perspective and awakens the senses. This new gin, the latest in Freeland’s line of great gins, accomplishes a similar task. It’s juniper forward as it should be, but it delivers a superfresh experience, right down to aromas of a gentle mid-forest rain – the kind that pops open everything that’s on the ground. The botanical mix is foraged from extremely local sources, it’s a trip to Portland’s non-urban areas in a glass. Be careful – it’s so attractive to drink that it’ll have you in a state of contemplative ginertia in no time. Masterfully realized by Master Distiller Molly Troupe. 95
