Love this. Herby, resinous, grown-up.
I'd agree that getting the balance of bitters and spirit to sugar is critical - the above worked fine for me for a first go, although I might try dialling back the sugar syrup a touch next time around (and probably find the above measures were right in the first place!)
I used Fierfield birch spirit from Eire, instead of Freya - gives it a whiskey twang that worked an absolute treat for me!
