Tasting Notes:
The nose opens with an abundance of vibrant fruit aromas — tangerines, quinces and ripe mango layered with candied pineapple and juicy nectarines. Hints of lemon cordial, lychee and fruit preserves create a rich jam-like sweetness, while elegant notes of Earl Grey tea, polished antique furniture, spearmint and delicate cigar leaf add depth and sophistication. Subtle floral powder notes lend an almost perfumed elegance.

On the palate, the texture is beautifully smooth and dangerously drinkable, revealing waves of apricot, papaya, quince and ripe mango balanced by the bright acidity of passionfruit. Layers of beeswax, floral honey, orange peel and soft leather emerge alongside gentle menthol freshness, evoking the refined character of old-style 1960s whisky and mature cognac.

The finish is long, silky and fruit-forward, carrying lingering notes of fruit tea, cooling menthol, oak spice and sweet citrus with remarkable finesse and structure.
