4.13.22
Served: Neat, Flute.
Bottle Open: >3 months
Last intake: Lemon Water, shortbreads.
Aroma: Really gotta get your nose in there to pick anything up. Of the listed botanicals, only coriander is discernable. There is a strange vanilla note that is rose adjacent. It might be the florals.
Flavor: Full bodied. The flavor is uniquely more complex than the nose. Classic juniper and grapefruit, and has lingering florals and tea-like tannin.
Strikes me as entirely too weak in character for mixing or sipping. I'll give it another go some other time, but for now, I'm writing it off as pleasant in character, but overly gentle. A colorful gimmick for vodka drinkers who want to feel fancy because they're drinking gin.
