EYE: Beautiful, brilliant topaz colour, with thick disk (glycerol). Glass generously lined with “tears”.

NOSE: Harmonious, without a strong alcohol attack. A fine, well-balanced nose. First comes a sensual, tropical bouquet with hints of fresh ginger, caramel and orange peel. Then comes a dazzling pallet of aromas: cedar, eucalyptus and tobacco leaves.

There is a hint of pleasant bitterness, like candied grapefruit. There are also long powerful woody notes, with touches of vanilla, cedar resin, and sweet sugar cane.

PROOF: 64.8 % Vol. Cask-strength

GOES WELL WITH: roasted stuffed pig, offal, full-fat and creamy cheeses, and dark chocolate. Heavenly with a great cigar.
