Nose
Grapefruit peel, thick-cut marmalade, generous earthy juniper — spicy cardamom kick with cucumber freshness
Palate
Clean, bright and surprisingly soft at 45.2% — well-rounded juniper, citrus and spice in pleasing balance, juniper becoming sweeter and more generous
Finish
Classic yet veering contemporary — peppery nutmeg and coriander with clean cucumber freshness from the post-distillation addition
Expert Review
