Sweet woodland notes — Douglas fir and myrrh softened by sugar, earthy juniper and warming spice

Sweet woodland fading to earthy anise — the Old Tom sweetening revealing botanical dimensions the Dry hides

Expert Review

7/10

Defiance's sweetened expression — the same fourteen foraged botanicals in Old Tom style. Douglas fir and myrrh creating a woodland character softened by traditional sweetening. Lancashire craft with depth.
