On the nose is alcohol with hints of pine (juniper) and citrus. On the palate there is an alcohol burn but juniper, peppery spice and citrus (orange) are noticeable.

While not the smoothest of Gins, it has elements of a traditional Gin coming through, giving a crisp bite. This is not a sipping Gin however reacts reasonably well in long drinks e.g. Gin & Tonic, Tom Collins, Gin Fizz etc. This is certainly not recommended in a Martini, it is better as a budget Gin effectively utilized in a large fruit punch for a party.
