Nose: Intense pine and juniper hit the nose while it's still being poured into the glass, with oily, almost malty spice. A touch of buttered popcorn joins, before huge helpings of fresh lemon peels, garden herbs, and lemon drizzle cake.
Palate: So soft, with creamy lemon posset and zesty sorbet. Bright notes of rosemary shine alongside dense juniper, coating the mouth with delicately woody, fragrant spice. A touch of earthen rootiness develops in the depths.
Finish: Orange peel and floral vanilla arrive towards the end with aromatic spices and distant incense. The gentlest prickle of peppery oak joins right at the finish, with resinous pine lingering.
