Nose
A bright, citrus leafiness: lemon with verbena and myrtle; exceptionally inviting and fresh – smells like just-cut flower stems. 

Palate
Well-balanced with lots of complexity. The flavours develop from citrus to pine to earthiness to spice with just the right level of sweetness to bring the character out. 

Finish
A clean finish with very little alcohol heat and a pleasant mix of pine and lingering menthol pepper. 

Comments
Interesting and exciting. It’s a good all-rounder, but really shines when sipped over ice.

Score

9.3

Nose
Incredibly fresh from the off, with wafts of fresh mint tea and a light floral edge. 

Palate
It continues with some sweetness from citrus, then moving towards festive spice with punchy cinnamon and a little angelica making an appearance. A hint of stewed bright red berries. 

Finish
Lingering liquorice notes have appeared, with a nod to the citrus on the way out. 

Comments
I’d keep it simple to enjoy the liquorice notes with a splash of tonic.

Score

9.0
