Review

Delicate anise and peppermint with citrus freshness. Old Tom gin fortifies and adds piney juniper while amplifying pleasing liquorice notes. A cleansing aperitivo.

This is lovely, anise and herbs come through nicely. Not sure why Milano Sour though, shouldn't it be called Livorno Sour?

Thanks, Jacques. I agree! Hence, I've changed the name.
