Tasting Notes
"This is warm and welcoming all the way through. The nose consists of mostly bitter lemon soda and juniper with some crushed pepper and angelica root. Tastes of lemon drops, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a smidgen of juniper are all warmed by the heat of the alcohol. While the burn is a bit harsh, the mouthfeel is lean and juicy. Put this in a Gimlet to balance the spiced lemons with refreshing lime juice."
