A trio of citrus elements - lemon peel, sweet orange and grapefruit - brings brightness and layered freshness, while liquorice adds gentle roundness and cohesion.

The palate is dry, firm and well defined. Juniper remains prominent throughout, followed by lemon and orange notes that add clarity and vibrancy. Coriander and angelica contribute herbal complexity, while liquorice provides a discreet sweetness that balances the citrus-driven core without softening the dry character.
