Shawn C commented on 5/04/2023:

Potent heat at 79+ proof before ice dilution (Tanqueray base), with aggressive flavors. The earthy rhubarb bite comes through strongly with the juniper, and Averna provides some rich body. Both semi-sweet up front, and semi-bitter, the bitter intensified through the finish. Fragrant. Nothing boring about this intense and aggressive libation. For me it was a 3.5, but I can't see dropping it to a 3, so I'll round to 4.
