FR Forest and wood. FL Extremely rustic. FE Quite soft. FI Slight sweetness on the finish. BE Not your usual gin. Could add a rustic twist to a Negroni or work well for a Dirty Martini. BL Very unusual and unexpected. The wet hops and aged oak add really intense flavours some may find overpowering in a gin. –Wendy McGuinness
FR Pine, woodsy, pepper. FL Sweet and herbaceous. FE Creamy, balanced. FI A touch hot, dry. BE Martini on the rocks. BL A bold and full flavored gin. –Josh Pape

SPIRIT OF MERLOT LIQUEUR FR Very light. Background of wine fruit. FL Light and subtly sweet. Allspice and anise notes. FE Thin, with some alcohol warmth. FI Lengthy. Sits on palate with a background of fruity notes. BE Chilled or alongside a warm beverage. BL A fun, local eau de vie. –Trevor Kallies
