Middle of the pack
Right down the middle. Reviews and price both sit mid-pack. The Gin Is In gives it 4/5, vs. 3.8/5 for the typical gin (480 rated).
Gray Whale Gin is a California coastal gin from Gray Whale Spirits (Golden State Distillery), made from a six-times distilled, gluten-free corn base spirit infused with sustainably sourced Californian botanicals including juniper, almond, mint, Persian lime, and wild-harvested Mendocino sea kelp (kombu). The brand donates a portion of profits to ocean conservation causes.
