Dusty strawberries, refined fruity sweetness, citrus (oranges, lime zest), white pepper, and hints of polish. Notes of old books, sweet oak, honeyed apples, and a subtle floral character.

Smooth mouthfeel with prominent spices (pepper, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg) alongside ripe apples, pineapple, and mango. Honeyed apples with light oakiness and a hint of brine.
Finish
Very long, creamy, and buttery with caramel and toffee notes. Drier, with hints of herbs, delicate oak, and a lingering tobacco and ashiness.
