DISTILLATION
Throw out first 100ml
Orange flavor comes out strong in the beginning
The freshness of the lemon is coming in second
There's some oiliness (is normal for it to come out in the beginning, is not good to taste too much of it)
Then cardamom and juniper are coming through
Then cardamom is coming out stronger
The brightness of the lemon comes back
