Exploring Gin Expressions from Waterloo Gin
Last week, I had a great time exploring Gin expressions from Waterloo Gin in Texas. I tried: Waterloo No. 9 — a New American gin distilled with lavender, grapefruit, and pecan. Prickly Pear & Rose Gin — a floral blend of hibiscus, rose, and prickly pear. Barrel-Aged — matured for at least two years in new, charred American white oak, developing deep wood, nutty and herbal complexity. The brand just got a fresh new look under John Paul DeJoria (yep, the guy behind #Patron Tequila and Paul Mitchell). All were delicious, but the Barrel-Aged was my favorite.

Unboxing Video
This has got to be the best presentation I've received this year. Thank you @waterloogin for making this. I already know the product is great, and this new look: the bottle emboss, the label design, the bottle shape and even the seals all enclosed in this beautiful box just makes this a perfect choice. It's almost as if I want to cherish this and not drink the tasty contents but this definitely deserves a top shelf treatment.Congratulations on this move! Cheers!
