Terpinolene is the terpene most consistently associated with energetic, cerebral, daytime sativa character, and its presence here is exactly why the sativa classification holds up on this batch even though the original breeder describes White Widow as 60% indica.

The classic spice is still there in the background from the trans-caryophyllene, but it is a base note, not the headline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate: crisp pine and citrus-herb up front, sweet tropical floral through the middle, a light peppery-woody spine, and a clean, faintly lavender finish from the α-terpineol.
