Drinking the martini now, as described. Gin and vermouth and all....Aaaaaaaah. That is all.
I had three. Think two on empty stomach is just right, garnish is appetizer or dinner. Then switch to beer.
I pretty much only drink local (Texas) vodka. The stuff made here is as good as I've found anywhere.
For gin New Amsterdam pretty darn tasty as well.

I'm curious as to its flavor profile...is it a lighter gin with less flavor (ie., something hovering between London dry and vodka?), or is it a fairly straight ahead competitor to the juniper-packed British gins, or is it an offbeat sort with other dominant flavors?

Technically, most gins are distilled a second time with the botanicals, but some of the cheaper ones are just infused vodkas. Regardless, juniper (jenever) = gin, IMHO. If juniper isn't a major component of the flavor, I'd call it vodka.
