On the Nose:

The first impression is an explosion of fresh strawberries. The aroma is clean, sweet, and undeniably enticing. Hints of juniper peek through, adding a subtle gin character that complements the fruitiness without overpowering it.

The gin botanicals come through subtly on the palate, adding a touch of warmth and earthy complexity. The juniper is particularly gentle, offering a hint of piney spice that lingers on the finish. The mouthfeel is smooth and luxurious, with a touch of viscosity that creates a pleasant coating on the tongue.
