Juniper straight away, but it seems fresh and clean. Give it a bit of time to sit and you start to get sweetness coming through as well ? like icing sugar. Sweet, with juniper again coming through strong. Then the warming spiciness comes through. Peppery at first but mellowing to more of ginger quality. Finally I got something sweet and floral, the closest description I could come up with is Parma Violet sweets. Over all ita very smooth though and you wouldn?t think it was 47% abv. Citrus comes out straight away on the finish giving a crisp, freshness. I also got an almost milky quality after the citrus died back to round it off.
