Nose - sweet lemon, lime, and grapefruit zest, thyme, cardamom, floral tea, juniper, white pepper, coriander, clove, anise, ginger, vanilla bean, orange, rose water, mild to moderate ethanol burn. Taste - grapefruit zest, sweet floral tea, lemon, lime, orange, juniper, anise, cardamom, thyme, ginger, coriander, black pepper, allspice, mild to moderate alcohol bite, finishing medium long with sweet citrus zest, cardamom, tea, and juniper flavors. This has a very different nose and palate from the other gins I’ve tried. The dominant notes are sweet floral tea and citrus zest. The juniper is definitely present, but takes a back seat. It’s also much milder than the others I’ve tried. There is very little alcohol kick throughout the entire experience. I really like it, significantly more than Beefeater and Tanqueray and slightly more than Empress. It seems that I prefer gins that aren’t quite as juniper dominant. My review sample size is too small to make a definite judgement on that, but it appears to be leaning that way.
