Nose
Full and smooth, with spicy notes, reminiscent of saunas, toffee apples, fennel seeds in brown sugar, flambéed bananas, and mangoes in caramel sauce. Fresh mint leaves and rich cream sherry notes are also present.
Palate
Clean and lively, with vanilla, flowers, barley, and fresh fruit. Notes of green apples, conference pears, peaches, juicy red berries, malt loaf, tarte tatin, butterscotch popcorn, and tobacco.
Finish
Long and concentrated, initially medicinal and spicy, followed by an intense smoke before vanilla perfectly pairs with aromatic plants.
