Really good TGY.
Little greenish balls with a nice floral aroma. Smells vegetal, orchid. The liquor is a yellow color with greenish hues. Although it has the classic TGY notes, it is a nice “sour”, and thankfully not sour as some. It’s just right, in my opinion, as far as TGYs. There is still mouth action in the back but some are over the top, this one is not. It has a smooth and soft mouth and throat feel. It’s brisk and has clear notes. The finish is naturally sweet, vegetal, floral, orchid but not perfumey. It handled boiling water with no problem, no bitterness present throughout all steeps. If you like TGY, this is a great daily drinker.
