Tasting notes
Nose: The juniper wood is really jumping out of the glass. The smoke is subtle yet clearly present. There’s honey, lemon and a hint of oak. It feels young and fresh with a vibrant and aromatic nose.
Mouth: Sweetness with honey and muted butterscotch notes. The juniper wood mixes nicely with the dusty, dry smoke. A spicyness builds up, which fits nicely with the special wood notes that the juniper wood brings.
Finish: It starts out with some menthol, then the smoke and wood takes over. The dusty juniper wood is a red thread throughout. The wood gives a hint of mango and peaches somewhere in the middle of the finish. The spices carry all the way through. Very pleasant finish with the original smoke and wood notes lingering.
