Flavour & character

Aroma An intense and seductive bouquet. The rich notes of bay leaf, licorice, and calamus are immediately recognisable, beautifully complemented by aromas of juniper and a subtle spicy touch of blessed thistle and gentian.

Flavour The mouthfeel is full, mild, and extremely balanced. On the palate, layers of various herbal extracts unfold, with a striking balance between the natural bitterness and the soft texture of the spirit. The alcohol percentage of 30% supports the structure beautifully, with the warm spicy nuances lingering long and harmoniously.

Finish A medium-length, mild finish. The notes of licorice and mild bitters slowly fade away, making way for a clean impression of Frisian herbs and a refined, round finish.
