Tasting Notes
"Sweet, herbal aromas of fir tree and spearmint mingle with lemon, lime, and lilac on the nose. The palate takes on more citrus and evergreen flavors with subtle florals and a gentle sweetness. The gin finishes rather clean, with not much acetone and the juniper notes boosting the other aromatics. It's very gin and tonic-friendly! "
