Nose
Complex with notes of dusty strawberries, citrus, white pepper, old leather, dark chocolate, caramel, vanilla, tropical fruits, honeyed apples, and a subtle floral and sea breeze character.
Palate
Delicate and smooth, featuring spices like pepper, ginger, and cinnamon, alongside ripe apples, tropical fruits, sweet stewed fruit, honey, dark chocolate, and hints of oak and brine.
Finish
Long and evolving, with creamy caramel, toffee, delicate oak, a warming sensation, light salinity, and a mild tobacco and ashiness that lingers.
