- Nose
- Brandy richness and gin botanicals rise together.
- Palate
- This is a useful hybrid because it keeps split-base cocktail logic visible in the pre-war field rather than treating spirits as neatly segregated lanes.
- Finish
- The finish is cool, warm-spirited, and clean.
- Summary
- A split-base brandy-gin aromatic from the mixed-spirit fringe.
