HOW TO SERVE
Serve in cocktails — perhaps an Aviation or in a new-wave Martini.
X-FACTOR
The distinct violet color caught our eye, as well as the alluring aromatics. The color can bring more interest to Gin cocktails.
TASTING NOTE
Bright, medium blue color. The aromatics are very intense, giving aromas of violet, lemongrass, and lemon with supporting notes of verbena and juniper. The palate is more intense than the nose delivering a citrus-driven core with supporting flavors of lavender, juniper, citrus zest, and violet. The finish is dry. Medium-bodied and favorably balanced with a vibrant texture.
