Nose:
Zesty sweet and bitter orange peel rises first, followed by gentle juniper, cool lavender, and a dusting of cardamom and anise carrying soft sweetness. Bright, floral, and instantly inviting. Hints of coriander seed add lift, while sarsaparilla lends a rooty sweetness that deepens the aromatics without masking the delicate citrus. A touch of pepper teases.

Palate:
Silky and balanced, the palate unfolds with orange oils, candied lemon peel, juniper resin, lavender honey, and cardamom warmth, finishing with licorice and mint. Citrus leads; spice keeps pace. Sarsaparilla gives a gentle rooty echo, while coriander and anise frame the sweetness, keeping the profile dry, mixable, and remarkably crisp.

Finish:
Medium in length, the finish lingers with peppery cardamom, orange pith, cooling mint, and a faint lavender echo that leaves the palate refreshed. Clean, dry, and quietly persistent. Juniper finally steps forward, joined by licorice and cedar-like spice that invite another sip or a crisp, well-chilled martini.

- Welsh rarebit with aged cheddar; the gin’s citrus and lavender lift the cheese’s richness, while cardamom spice echoes toasted mustardy notes.

- Smoked salmon on lemon-dill blinis, where bright orange peel and anise complement the fish’s sweetness, and piney juniper cleans the palate between bites.

- Herb-roasted chicken with fennel and orange, because the gin’s coriander and citrus mirror the seasoning, while lavender softens the savory edges.

- Crispy fish tacos with lime crema; bright citrus and cardamom slice through the fry, while minty lift makes every bite feel lighter.
