Tasting Notes

Nose

Vibrant — sweet juniper and pine, a tangy freshness, the Highland wildflowers providing a green, living quality

Palate

Tangy fresh citrus — mellow juniper notes, richly herbaceous, Scots pine offering a solid backbone of warming spice, the melancholy thistle adding a subtle bitter-herbal character unique among gins

Finish

Smooth, mellow and woody — downy birch and aspen providing gentle wood notes, the sweet vernal grass adding a hay-like sweetness, persistent and contemplative
