Tasting notes

COLOUR

DEEP AMBER WITH MAHOGANY HUES.

NOSE

BOLD AND EXPRESSIVE, OPENING WITH
BRIGHT NOTES OF ORANGE ZEST AND RICH
TOBACCO. LAYERS OF PASSION FRUIT,
APRICOT, AND PINK GRAPEFRUIT PEEL
EMERGE, BRINGING A VIBRANT TROPICAL
EDGE. HINTS OF ROSEMARY, CEDAR, AND
CLOVES ADD DEPTH, WHILE A LEATHERY
UNDERTONE LINGERS, REINFORCING ITS
AGED COMPLEXITY.

PALATE

INTENSE AND FULL-BODIED, STRIKING A
BALANCE BETWEEN DARK CHOCOLATE,
HONEY, AND LICORICE. THE FRUITINESS
FROM THE NOSE CARRIES THROUGH,
INTERWOVEN WITH COFFEE, GINGER, AND
SUBTLE HERBACEOUS NOTES OF THYME AND
LAUREL. THE STRUCTURED OAK INFLUENCE
BRINGS A TANNIC DRYNESS, WHILE HINTS
OF BLACKBERRY AND PEAR ADD CONTRAST.

FINISH

EXCEPTIONALLY LONG AND EVOLVING,
WITH LINGERING LICORICE, DRY WOOD,
AND PIPE TOBACCO. NUTTY NUANCES OF
WALNUT AND HAZELNUT BLEND WITH
MOLASSES AND A TOUCH OF PINE SAP,
CREATING A REFINED, ALMOST RANCIO-
LIKE PROFILE. A FINAL WHISPER OF
PEPPERMINT AND CHERRY LEAVES A FRESH
YET WARMING IMPRESSION.

EMPTY GLASS

VANILLA, ROASTED HAZELNUT, APRICOT,
CLOVES, AND ORANGE PEEL.
