  • Pale yellow-green. Mint and Band-Aid on nose, Caraway and Wrigley's gum on sip, herbal complexity on swallow and finish. A kind of more mature Southside.

Very nicely balanced. The caraway/fennel/mint bridges the chartreuse. Herbal spearmint chewing gum and some white wine body with a little wormwood to finish, falernum (I used John D. Taylor Velvet Falernum) provides mouthfeel and rounds it all out.
