“91 – Perfumy pine and licorice, with some citrus in the background. This gin starts floral and dry, and finishes with bitter orange peel, clove and peppery bite. When chilled, this gin has a sweetness to it. Would make an intriguing martini. 90-95: Superb/Highly Recommended.’ – Wine Enthusiast, April 2011 “Floral aroma, packed with juniper and a lightly sweet well balanced flavor spanning from lemon peel to licorice, all spanning a juniper center.” – Imbibe
The smoke and peat on the nose is hard to miss, however the fi rst impression is one of spice, vanilla, chocolate and oak. Then the confusion sets in, the wonderful classic bourbon notes fade leaving one with a lovely, lingering and layered taste of smoke, peat and yes, a tad of iodine on the palate.
Smooth and balanced with bright notes of spicy rye, vanilla and mature fruit. Lingering finish of caramel and toasted nut.
Full-bodied with earthy overtones of grass and cherry fruitwood. Very complex with lingering notes of smoke and fig on the finish.
