Nose
Crisp juniper from the off with woody spice and sappy pine. 

Palate
An initially sweet start with notes of fir and cedar. This has a delightfully woody interpretation of juniper with a gradually building, resinous character. It is exceptionally sippable. 

Finish
A dash of citrus on the finish, followed by slightly honeyed notes of pine. 

Comments
An elegant, accessible spirit that I really enjoyed drinking neat. It would make a great Martini or Old Fashioned, too.

Score

8.7

Nose
Refreshing and a rather bold nose, with light orange zest and earthy coriander seeds. 

Palate
The earthiness is back, wrapping a core of juniper up in a herbal blanket of angelica and orris, with a nod to fresh pine. 

Finish
The pine notes remain, with a little freshness on this relatively long finish. 

Comments
I think this will come out of its shell even more with the addition of a splash of tonic and a peel of orange to pull out the citrus notes.

Score

8.5
