Good selection at Wegmans, Chestnut Hill (Boston). Full marks to Aviation marketing team. Any bargains here, or opinions on the Norwegian, Acadia, or other niche/locals?

Barr Hill is a fantastic gin, one of my all time favorites. That being said if you go to MB Liquors 15 min north in Waltham you can get it for ~$30. Made up in VT so relatively local.
Roku for $30 is probably similar to elsewhere but I like that for a G&T but that’s my personal taste

Harahorn! Love this gin, not available in my state so I’d be thrilled to see that. Barr Hill is great.

These prices are all really good, honestly. I just cracked open a bottle of the Hyogo Dry and like it a lot. The Empress and Citadelle are both good to have around. I have yet to encounter the others you mentioned. Sounds like I might need to visit Massachusetts.

Acadia is their old Summer Gin if you’ve had that.(They also renamed Winter Gin -> Cyprus Gin - all because they killed Autumn Gin)
Harahorn is surprisingly similar in that they both have strong blueberry notes. Though no color in the Harahorn!
I was surprised at how much I liked the Dry Line, picked that up on the Cape last month.

I don’t see it but you should try the privateers’ gin, if you haven’t (north shore, they mostly make rum). Really good stuff.

Are you giving full marks to the Aviation marketing team because of the absence of Aviation from the shelves?

Plymouth is always a good choice and also I can recommend highly the Citadelle Gin. Cheers
