The folk at Bax describe this as "bright and crisp with refreshing botanical herbs: The flavour of Lemon Verbena is complemented by subtle Mediterranean herbs and citrus, with menthol and floral notes to balance. The overall tastes are of dry aromatic botanicals that work well as an appetiser."

Recommend serve: 1 part Bax Verbena with 3 parts tonic water over ice, garnished with cucumber.

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 27/06/2019

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Clean, aromatic and herbal with notes reminiscent of thyme predominating. (Thyme is not used in the recipe in which Lemon Verbena is the main ingredient.)

Taste:

Not a product designed to be, or that we'd recommend serving neat as strongly herbal with some acidity. Mixed with tonic water, as producers recommend, producers a pleasant herbal tonic.

Aftertaste:

Long herbal finish.

Overall:

While we are not fans of the use of "Spirits" on labels of non-alcoholic products, mixed with 3 parts tonic water this herbal hydrosol makes a refreshing long drink.
