Part of the Quarantini 2022 Advent Calendar. Both Jeanette and April purchased the calendar, would do a tasting, and then send tasting notes back and forth. There are also videos from Quarantini about each gin, and sometimes those were watched, though after doing the gin tasting so as to see how much we agreed or disagreed.
Tasting notes:
April - Smells mostly like aftershave. The cherry is definitely there, but I don't think I'd go perfume for the comparison, or feel like it's like the Gobstoppers scent of the early days. Not super strong, but pleasant enough.
Pretty fruity on the front, gave me alcohol shudders on the back. Not going to be a favorite, but still above yesterday, and decent in the fruit flavors.

Jeanette - The smell is unexpectedly little like classic cherry - more like cherry brandy or with a hint of bitter almond aroma - Pleasant. The taste is also not as cherry-heavy as feared when reading. Here, too, the aroma of bitter almond is clearly to taste and after I choked I mean to taste something of "Cherry Coke" in the aftertaste. I can imagine this gin well with a berry or rather lovely tonic as a long drink... I think I find it quite good.
