The Gin Guide Review
An inviting bright and citrussy aroma with lemon and cardamom. Lots of enjoyable juniper, lemon peel, soft spice and liquorice on the palate. Excellent balance. The citrus lingers into a peppery finish with cassia. Nice journey of flavour and length of finish. Impressive complexity and balance.
