Notes
There is no substitute for the Catoctin Creek Watershed Gin, it is a solid and unique gin from Loudoun County, Virginia and relatively new. The absinthe and bitters brands could likely vary.
History
The gin's slight sharpness with the absinthe and orange bitters is wonderfully complementary and was a surprising perfect match on a splendid Saturday afternoon.
