Nose: Inviting and unconventional. Fresh oregano and citrus leap forward, quickly followed by an intriguing mix of forest-floor mushroom and soft patchouli incense. There’s a gentle sweetness akin to dried apricot and a resinous herbaceousness that balances floral and earthy.

Palate: Beautifully weird and surprisingly well-balanced. The girolle mushrooms bring peppery warmth and a touch of stone fruit sweetness. Oregano’s savoury profile supports the spice of coriander and the brightness of lemon peel, while patchouli provides an aromatic, earthy base note that lingers like a well-worn bandana. The classic juniper backbone holds it all together like a festival wristband that never quite comes off.

Finish: Medium-long and meditative. A lingering herbal warmth with echoing notes of patchouli, pepper, and citrus. Slightly woody, slightly floral, completely memorable.
