Smiling Wolf Botanical is distilled from authentic spirit ingredients: juniper, coriander seeds, angelica root, and cardamom form the core, with pink peppercorn and lemon zest adding warmth and brightness. The nootropic and B vitamin blend is included in the formula. Juniper comes through cleanly and clearly on the nose, with coriander seed and angelica root earthiness underneath. On the palate, coriander and cardamom build steadily, and the pink peppercorn gives a gentle heat that lemon zest then cuts through. There's enough structure here to carry tonic water without getting lost. At 0.5% ABV it sits closer to the spirit end of the AF spectrum than many alternatives. It reads convincingly as a gin-style drink when mixed, though the mouthfeel is lighter than a full-strength pour.
