Nose: Sweet Orange with a soft hint of cardamon.

Palate: Juniper appears at the forefront which blends into the herbaceous sweet notes of alfalfa (lucerne) and red clover. Yarrow provides a warming light sweet bitter note alongside the pepper notes from rocket leaf and cubeb pepper. The tail end gives way to an under tone of orange and the warmth of ginger.

Finish: Smooth, rounded full bodied, with a lovely citrus note at the back of the mouth.

Garnish with orange peel.

Alfalfa, also called lucerne, is a perennial flowering plant. It is cultivated as an important forage crop in many countries around the world. It is used for grazing, hay, and silage, as well as a green manure and cover crop. The name alfalfa is used in North America. The name lucerne is more commonly used in the United Kingdom. The plant superficially resembles clover (a cousin in the same family), especially while young. It has clusters of small purple flowers followed by fruits spiraled in two to three turns containing 10–20 seeds. It has been cultivated as livestock fodder since at least the era of the ancient Greeks and Romans. 

It is often found in food shops as young sprouts as it is nutritious and high in protein.
