Nose
Subtle juniper — fresh citrus fruit, cardamom warmth, the low-temperature distillation preserving aromatics that heat would destroy
Palate
Juniper pine opening — bitter lemon developing, hints of nutmeg, cardamom, and cinnamon spice, floral notes emerging, the frankincense adding a resinous depth that is Sacred's signature
Finish
Long and dry — each botanical clearly defined, the vacuum distillation producing a clarity that conventional pot stills cannot match, contemplative
Expert Review
8/10The first spirits brand to use vacuum distillation — 90% less energy than a traditional pot still. Twelve botanicals including Boswellia sacra frankincense (which gave the brand its name) each distilled individually in glassware at 35-45°C. Double Gold at San Francisco 2013.
