Very pleased with my recent gift of @MuffLiquorCo potato-based gin
Strong orange aroma upon opening. The spud base is notably softer than the 'usual' dry gins
The overall taste is a delightful citrus. I'm definitely into the Muff

[TheGinTaster @TasterGin]

@MuffLiquorCo I am now the proud owner of this potato-based gin.
Citrussy orange notes hit the nose on opening. Being spud based, the overall feel is soft and not overly dry. The juniper notes take a back seat to orange in my opinion.
I'm officially a fan of a bit of Muff
