Nose: Fragrant citrus peels (oranges and lemons) with coriander in support, then resinous pine and juniper with orris root and angelica close behind. A warming and aromatic combination of black peppercorns, cinnamon and star anise is present underneath.
Palate: The final note of the nose is the first of the palate, rich and spicy baking spice predominantly with zingy citrus and piney juniper also making a return. The palate has more savoury qualities, mostly earthy, forest floor elements, then a hint of fennel, pepper and a crisp herbal quality.
Finish: Spicy and a little bit sweet, the finish is long and warming.
