Nose
A herbal opening, with coriander, earthy juniper and a little elderflower.
Palate
Juniper is much brighter on the palate and cuts through the herbs. Aniseed and star anise brings dials down the juniper.
Finish
Middling length, the satisfying mouthfeel leaves a waxy citrus note.
Comments
Balance of flavours is admirable – sweet to savoury. Good classic notes. Looking forward to trying with an elderflower tonic to see if it enhances the note that was found on the nose.
Score
8.0

Nose
That nose is dreamy, like you’ve just taken a big old breath of fresh spring air… minus the hay fever. Strong sage pushing through, with a little sweetness at the end.
Taste
The freshness is still there, grassy and lightly vegetal, with a little light berry fruitiness shining through. There is some aniseed there to give all that light air a bit of punch.
Finish
The aniseed spice stays with you.
Comments
Lulls you into a false sense of security, before hitting you with the big flavours. I like it.
