Nose
A blast of tropical fruits including pink grapefruit, papaya, guava, mango, and passion fruit, with notes of wax, caramel rice, light smoke, heather, sandalwood, balsam, and Virginia tobacco. It also presents complex notes of rhubarb, dried plums, sultanas, raspberries, and creamy vanilla custard, evolving with hints of eucalyptus, camphor, old books, and forest after rain.
Palate
Tropical fruits, orange juice, tangerine, and lemon squash, with resinous and slightly cardboardy notes. Very minty with spearmint and citronella. Sweet fruits, confectionery, and stone fruits dance on the palate, with soft toffee and hazelnuts.
Finish
A rather long finish with lemon zests and smoked tea. Soft toffee and hazelnuts with sweet smoke teasing the tongue.
