I don't have a honey/mint gin. Made mine with 8:1 Tanqueray to Tempus Fugit white creme de menthe and that's plenty mint flavor. Overall flavor had a fresh green herbal bent. If and when I make this again, I would make it the same way, but use Barr Hill Gin from VT, which has a heavy honey tone to it. It sounds sublime. Such a delicious, distinct gin. I feel like a fresh balsamic-laden tomato and feta salad would go splendidly with it.
