It is amber brown with reddish hints. On the nose, notes of wood and roots, from which gentian root stands out, rounded out by refreshing fragrances of juniper and aromatic herbs and wormwood on the finish. The palate is robust with flavors of dried fruit, bark, and intense herbs including gentian, juniper, and mint. The drink has a pleasant bitterness, but also a foresty, piney character with a distinct menthol note.
