Review and Tasting

Sampled on 27/10/2013

Appearance:

(batch 104, bottle 02) Clear, very faint green tinge.

Aroma:

Pine forest after rain juniper, cardamom, coriander and cinnamon with lemon and lime zest.

Taste:

Soft mouthfeel, perversely with aggressive pine and cardamom spice. Pronounced lemon, lime and cardamom freshness with underlying rootyness. Jagged rather than graceful.

Aftertaste:

Full-on and spicy yet soft.
