Review and Tasting

Sampled on 19/10/2015

Appearance

Crystal clear.

Aroma

Birch-like juniper, cinnamon, lemongrass, coriander, cardamom, lime and grapefruit zest.

Taste

Dry and spicy. Piney juniper, sweet lime zest and a complex array of spice with a nutty roundness.

Aftertaste

Cinnamon, lime and pink grapefruit zest, black peppery pine and the same rounding nuttiness lingers from the palate.

Overall

Juniper-led with zesty citrus – particularly lime, complex mixed spices and a rounding nuttiness.
