Nose
A powerful nose where the base spirit comes through strongly with notes of pear, dewy leaves and a little salinity.
Palate
Lots of lime to start, followed by bold, floral and leafy notes, a sweet earthiness and menthol spice.
Finish
Particularly oily, with more lime and some slightly soapy coriander, accompanied by lingering pepper.
Comments
A spirit with a strong character that is, perhaps, a little overwhelming to drink on its own, but would be better when mixed.
Score
6.8
Felicity Murray
Nose
Distinctive and adventurous, complex and inviting with savoury, vegetal and herbaceous notes mingling with juniper and piquant cubeb berries.
Palate
Full, rounded, well balanced and bursting with a cacophony of flavours, spicy and citrusy.
Finish
Long and complex with fruit and spice joining the mix.
Comments
Could be sipped but would also mix well with a light, or lightly flavoured tonic garnished with lemon, pink peppercorns and a sprig of rosemary or lavender.
