THE INK OF LEGENDS
Finished in Don Julio Añejo tequila casks.
Thick wisps of aromatic herbal smoke honour the ancient art of tattooing, clouds that slowly disperse in whispers of stories. The sweet scent of ripe plums lingers, as smoky black ink etches an outline of illustrious past generations ascending to legendary heights. Each work of art is a map of historic victories, imprinted on a living canvas.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with burnished copper and mahogany undertones, a smoky, molten-gold glow.
Nose
The immediate aromas are slightly more medicinal than smoky, with hints of carbolic soap and soothing rub that soon mingle with aromatic wood smoke from a driftwood bonfire on the beach. As the intense, herbal smoke takes hold, a savoury note drifts through it, suggesting barbecued pork. A drop of water lightens the intensity, adding maritime and darkly fruity notes, making the smokiness even more aromatic.
Palate
Naturally robust, the texture is creamy-smooth and mouth-filling, with swirling flavors that begin sweet and citrus-like, then a touch of salt, before juicy plum emerges amid a progressively smoky, lip-tingling finish. A drop of water nudges it toward greater sweetness and smokiness.
Finish
Long, salty and very smoky, with a hint of light meatiness in a lingering, mouth-cooling finish. Drying, it leaves a comforting warmth on the palate.
