The palate is very clear, dominated by juniper and prominent herbal notes of fennel and anise. I can almost grasp the reason for its name – the clarity and light body evoke snowflakes. This flavor profile is quite appealing and would likely pair well with a slightly stronger tonic. It might also be intriguing in a dirty martini. I tried it with sparkling water, which helped highlight the herbal notes but didn't enhance the overall experience significantly.
