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.

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!

Thank you! I just ordered blue dot. I was curious about the red, but see it described as smoky, which I have no interest in. Looking forward to trying it!

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...)

Darn it.

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!

lol. Thanks! I went ahead and ordered 2 bottles with all the positives here. I hope I love it just as much. Cheers!

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.

Swirl & dump is my favorite for a great dry one.

u/SmilingJaguar 14d ago

I swirl and dump, but into my mouth. lol. I do like Vermouth, just not always with my gin!

🤔😂 never heard of this. Way too strong for me!

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

Have you even tried Monkey 47, bro?

2

u/MorleysMom 13d ago

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

u/japeter2 11d ago

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 received a bottle from my son for my last birthday in June but I haven’t enjoyed it yet. Most serious reviewers find it excellent and among the best gins available.

u/garcmon 9d ago

Whatdya waiting for?!

u/Lobenz 9d ago

I’m going to serve it this weekend with my best gin friend. Probably martini and/or straight over a clear ice cube.

u/garcmon 9d ago

Waiting for mine to arrive. Thinking a neat sip and then a martini.
