  • A distinctive, licorice-forward gin that leans into bold botanical character while maintaining balance and structure. However, it's strong anise profile may not suit every palate. This would shine in a white negroni, where its fennel, anise, and cardamom notes can integrate with gentian liqueur and dry vermouth, enhancing the drink’s herbal complexity.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Sweet, botanical aromatics lead the profile, with juniper present but restrained rather than dominant. Bright citrus notes, including lemon verbena, lift the nose and add a fresh, lightly herbal character.

  • Taste:

    Pronounced licorice-driven botanicals, with notes of fennel seed, cardamom, and anise at the forefront. A light underlying sweetness is balanced by a gentle peppery edge, while a touch of lemon peel adds a subtle, zest.

  • Finish:

    A light peppery note leads into a soft, creamy woodiness that helps temper the pronounced licorice character.

  • Overall:

    A distinctive, licorice-forward gin that leans into bold botanical character while maintaining balance and structure. However, it's strong anise profile may not suit every palate. This would shine in a white negroni, where its fennel, anise, and cardamom notes can integrate with gentian liqueur and dry vermouth, enhancing the drink’s herbal complexity.
