Tasting Notes

On The Nose

A well-defined juniper note with pine needles, immediately followed by the fresh citrus notes of bitter orange, lime and grapefruit.  Develops a complex floral note of rose and wallflowers with crushed green herbs, coriander and gooseberry all underpinned by mixed spice.  Sugar Kelp adds to the complexity and richness and gives a dry maritime note.

 On The Palate

Refreshing, with good balance between the bitter juniper and pine and the sweet fruit flavours of mango, grapefruit and orange.  A green herb flavour of crushed coriander develops.  Distinctive and smooth with a dry, flinty taste.

 On The Finish

Overall a long, clean finish.  As the juniper and citrus fade away, sweet vanilla and black pepper remain with a gentle reminder of the sea.
