Tasting Notes
Nose
Clean, sweet, and complex, with a peanutty note blending into subtle dry oak. Honey, caramel, and vanilla gently emerge, followed by a unique minerality that adds a hint of austerity. A whisper of ashiness lingers in the background.
Palate
Oily and smooth, with rich caramel and honey, balanced by mild peppery heat. Creamy rose syrup and a faint ashiness appear, finishing with cocoa powder and a return of minerality.
Finish
Elegant and dry, with oak and a touch of mint, tied together by lingering minerality.
