Tasting Notes

Nose

Sherbet lemon with fresh juniper crispness — hints of sweet blueberry, cardamom, rosemary and caraway, Nordic forest character, the lingonberry adding tart berry brightness

Palate

Full-bodied and balanced — Balkan juniper providing the backbone, lingonberry tartness, Seville orange and lemon citrus, fennel and coriander spice, rose petals adding floral elegance, blended with the purest Finnish water

Finish

Sweet lip-smacking anise — the fennel providing a pleasant aniseed conclusion, lingonberry tartness lingering, juniper reasserting, clean and composed at 47%, Nordic and refined
