Nose - juniper, isopropyl alcohol, yeast, lemon zest, prickly herbal notes, black pepper, rye, anise, high ethanol burn. Taste - lemon and orange zest, juniper, ginger, pine, black pepper, coriander, assorted earthy, herbal, and floral notes, anise, moderate to high alcohol bite, finishing fast with spicy herbal and pepper notes. I do not like this. It’s hard to get past the bready, rubbing alcohol fumes. The taste is better than the nose, but I find it more astringent than Beefeater and Tanqueray. By no means is it undrinkable, but definitely below average for me.
