TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Rich, heady, and intensely aromatic. Notes of cherry in brandy, candied apricot, and crème brÝlÊe unfold alongside medicinal hints of iodine and mustard plaster. Layers of dark chocolate and striking hydrocarbon tones (petrol, warm asphalt) give way to refined nuances of blood orange, ripe mango, and geranium honey.
PALATE
Full-bodied and concentrated, delivering a luxurious fusion of chocolate and marmalade. Floral elements of geranium honey, iris, wallflower, and marigold develop gracefully, while warm cane sugar slowly envelops the palate.
FINISH
Long, evolving, and deeply expressive. Spiced notes of candied ginger, clove, and pepper intertwine with cocoa, sugarcane, and exotic florals such as tuberose and lily. Hints of rose petal and turmeric emerge, finishing with a lightly varnished character and a vibrant burst of blood orange freshness.
ABV: 52.6% ABV
