Eucalyptus tea, caraway seeds, gin-like juniper character, ginger cake, bitter citrus peels, grippy, chlorophyl, fresh oak shavings, white pepper, coconut flakes, mineral hints, full-bodied, oily, buttery, spicy (bird's eye chilli, fresh ginger), smooth mouthfeel, pudding sweetness, bourbon-type oak sweetness, citrus fruit, rounded, gentle, mint, and other herbal notes.
