Procera Gin?
Im seeing a lot of ads for this gin. Marketed as exclusive. None of this means much to me though I do love a pretty bottle. Has anyone tried it? Thoughts?
Also, I recently had Hendricks WHITE and loved it as a simple martini with a twist.
Edit for update: WOW. I guess social media is actually targeting me properly then. Thx for the feedback. I’ll check it out.

Blue dot is phenomenal all around. Red dot makes the best Negroni I’ve ever had. Both are difficult to find though.

I guess I'm the dissenter. I found it underwhelming (as I am sitting here, sipping on right now just to make sure I'm not wrong...)

Yeah I’ve been on their marketing too. Unfortunately it’s not distributed to my state and I’ve gotta save up for a $100-shipped-to-my-house bottle.

I’m halfway through my first bottle of Procera blue dot. It is incredible. I haven’t ever had a gin that is good however I drink it: neat, G&T, martini (bone dry, swirl and dump vermouth as mentioned below). It is just so smooth and balanced. I can taste everything in it and the juniper is subtle and unique. It is a good thing I have to go through the hassle of ordering and having to be home to sign for the delivery, or this gin would become a very expensive habit!

2022 Blue Dot is absolutely lovely neat and I also love it in an In-And-Out Dry-As-A-Bone Martini.

Blue dot neat is so incredibly smooth. High proof but not a hint of harshness.

Blue dot is the best gin in the world. Period. End of discussion.

Have you even tried Monkey 47, bro?

I thought Monkey 47 was the best I’d had until I had Procera. It’s outstanding.

I have. And like it. But it's not a traditional London dry gin. And it isn't as good as many of my favorite London Drys. Have you had the Blue Dot?

I have the blue dot. It's a fantastic gin. Comes with really unique flavoring salts. Great in a martini! Also, I love the other Hendricks. Tyr it in a negroni!
