Better than I thougt, nevertheless is in the neigborhood of listerine. Sort of a mouth wash. Certainly with more gin i would like it better. Is interesting but the same with the triad of suze-absinthe-and pepperminth are such heavy tastes than only in tiny bitsy portion I can approach.

Great digestif! While the peppermint hum was a bit much at times, it was quite balanced.

Ignacio Seligra 4y

Good one, more balanced than expected but definitely on the sweet side. A must-try for any peppermint fan.

I tried this just now. Not bad , easy to drink, perhaps more gin will be better.
