Nose
Orange peel and vermouth rise immediately.
Palate
This is a neat service-history entry because it shows a named aperitif delivered in a tiny whiskey-glass format rather than the more formal cocktail-glass presentation.
Finish
The finish is soft, orange-toned, and lightly botanical.
Summary
A tiny sweet-vermouth gin aperitif from the service-format fringe.
