Gold

NOSE

INTENSE FRUITY PROFILE, DOMINATED BY
RIPE BANANA, CANTALOUPE, PINEAPPLE
SKIN, AND THE ZEST OF LIME PEEL,
INTERTWINED WITH OVERRIPE ORCHARD
FRUITS. THE RICHNESS OF VANILLA,
NUTMEG, AND CARAMEL FURTHER ENHANCES
THE AROMA, CREATING A DELIGHTFUL
BOUQUET.

RUMS, WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF PINEAPPLE
AND CITRUS, STARFRUIT AND LEMONGRASS
ADD A UNIQUE TWIST, ALONGSIDE CIDER
APPLE AND CHERRY NOTES. ALLSPICES,
LIGHT CARAMEL, BLOND TOBACCO, AND
CINNAMON CONTRIBUTE TO ITS COMPLEX
AND LAYERED FLAVOR.

NOTES PERSIST, COMPLEMENTED BY HINTS
OF SMOKE AND CINNAMON WITH CREAMY
CUSTARD, TOGETHER WITH COFFEE,
ALMOND, AND A TOUCH OF PEPPER.
