3.3
Aroma: Orange, lavender (floral), pine-like juniper, hints of Scope, possibly mint?, maybe cardamom? Snifter: Pine emerges at the finish, with a rose water-like quality but with lavender; starts bready, the Scope note lingers perhaps? It's almost herbal, definitely floral. Served on Ice: Strong orange presence, still quite sweet, noticeably bready, the lavender/floral notes persist, mint is present, and it maintains an herbaceous character (though predominantly floral). It's sweet, with an almost candy-like quality. Suggested Use: Perhaps a martini, to contrast with the olive? Alternatively, a Negroni to balance the bitterness. Conclusion: Give it a try; it's a distinctive gin that I'm eager to experiment with in various cocktails.
