Review and Tasting

Sampled on 15/05/2015

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Pungent rosemary and sage with linseed oil putty, basil, subdued pine, camphor and menthol juniper. Faint notes of lavender.

Taste:

Sage continues but with more pronounced pine and black pepper spice.

Aftertaste:

Black pepper, pine and sage with lingering nutty and mushroomy angelica root.

Overall:

Boldly flavoured. Herbal sage and angelica root feature heavily with comparatively subdued juniper.
