Nose
Initially, you are greeted by aromas of ripe mango, toasted coconut, and vanilla pod. Furthermore, delicate notes of honeycomb and citrus zest emerge after a short rest in the glass.
Palate
On the tongue, the texture is creamy and rich. In addition, it delivers flavors of caramelized pineapple, white pepper, and a subtle hint of green tea.
Finish
The finish is remarkably long and crisp, leaving a lingering warmth of sweet oak and exotic floral spices.
