On the nose you’ll sense a balsamic lemony lift from the frankincense and myrrh-infused botanicals. The palate brings juniper and coriander upfront, layered with resinous frankincense and myrrh and a subtle shimmer of 24-karat gold flecks swirling in the glass. The finish is long, floral and gently earthy, conjuring a festive winter forest mood.
For a classic serve try a citrus-forward martini or top with sparkling prosecco for shimmer and celebration. On the food side pair with smoked salmon on rye, a citrus-herb goat cheese tart or dark chocolate with sea salt and cranberry for contrast. For something unexpected, try it with candied ginger crumble or a winter root-veg gratin to echo the resinous spice character.
