Nose: Juniper, floral and citrus notes with a subtle bouquet of pineapple (red cedar), spice and anise.

Palate: Juniper appears at the forefront replaced by the bright bold citrus flavours, pink grapefruit and orange. Verbena provides the creamy textures. Pink pepper will cause the radial warmth on the core whilst Sichuan oils oxidising on your tongue will cause the mouth to cool providing the subtle tingling and menthol notes which enhance the tail notes of fennel and liquorice providing the final flourish that lingers in the mouth.

Finish: Smooth, rounded full bodied, with a luxurious texture.
