Uniquely savory
If you love Mediterranean flavors, especially Greek olives, you’ll love this NA gin. It has a wonderful savory flavor that’s quite unique. Mix it with a high quality tonic.

Just weird
The pretty bottle is the only reason for the star. The taste is just so odd. It even hard to figure out the citrus or olive. Just not good.

So Delicious!
This gin alternative is the best brand of those I have tried. Admittedly it’s been a while since I tasted a real gin and tonic but sipping a tall iced drink made with a healthy splash of this with some light tonic and maybe a garnish or two is a delightful way to keep a clear head while enjoying the company of family and friends!

Makes a decent mocktail
I like old Tom style gin. And no, this does not taste like that. BUT I can make a really enjoyable NA cocktail with it. Probably my favorite of the ones I’ve tried so far. I mix this with 2 dashes flavored bitters (grapefruit if I can find it), a squeeze of lime and tonic water. Lovely!

It tastes nothing like gin
I was very disappointed in this product. Not only does it taste nothing like gin, it isn’t even good, so if I want a non-alcoholic drink, I’d skip it for a beverage like sparkling water.

Good flavor but a strong and bitter after taste.
The bottle comes in a nice bubble wrap sleeve, which reduces the chances of receiving a broken bottle and that was nice. It also looks very nice and is one of those bottles you want to keep in your shelf! I was excited to try it after reading all the description. The first impression of the flavor is pretty good but damn it has a bitter after taste. I did expect it to be bitter since it is mentioned already but I think it is a bit too much.Apart from the bitter flavor, it has a great mix of citrus and floral flavors. I did try it in different mixed drinks and I really loved it if you add any water flavor or if you mix it with any slightly sweet drinks. Other than that, I think it is not drinkable since the after taste of that bitter flavor will stay for quite a while lol.Cons:1- I think the bitterness in this drink is a bit excessive.2- The price for it is insane. It is currently posted for $39.99 which is more expensive than most of similar drinks you can find.Overall, I think this could make a good mix depending on how and with what you will mix it to get rid of the bitterness. However, if you have to ask how much it is, it is not for you lol.

Devoid of juniper flavor, very weak ginger and lime.
I had purchased this as it was described as being one of the most juniper-forward non-alcoholic spirits out there and was disappointed to find that not only is the flavor itself extremely weak (to the point where it tastes mild when consumed straight, let alone mixed) but the juniper is seemingly totally absent. The most present note is a limey citrus with an undertone of very mild ginger. Altogether, if mixing a mock gin and tonic I have to use more than double the amount I usually would to get the flavor to peek through at all, and even then it gets somewhat overwhelmed by the quinine of the tonic water. Better than just drinking tonic water on its own, but only just barely, and the description of it having notes of juniper at all was just outright false. I was not expecting it to taste like actual gin, but I was expecting it to taste like *something* at least.To add to this, the bottle was shipped with no packing material, loose in a box. The first bottle broke in transit and created a lengthy order cancellation process, which I have still not received a refund for. The second bottle miraculously arrived safe and sound but had zero void fill to prevent rolling around in the box and wasn't marked "fragile" or even "liquid" on the outside of the package at all, which is just absurd. Overall a very big disappointment. I'll finish this bottle but doubt I'd purchase it again, especially with the shoddy shipping.
