Tasting Notes
"There is an aroma of rubber that creates a barrier of entry for the rest of the gin. Diving nose first you’ll surface with the aroma of dry orange peel but little else. The taste of melting rubber is first to appear on the palate as well. Afterwards there is some licorice, pine resin, and juniper. The finish has an artificial berry taste and is short lived. "
