Organoleptic Evaluation

On The Nose: the aroma is a harmonious blend of ripe  lime, green olives, and sugarcane juice, complemented by intense notes of cacao, dried fruits, and a persistent finish of salted butter, caramel and roasted nuts (especially walnuts and hazelnuts).

On the Palate: lime, green olives, and sugarcane juice, complemented by intense notes of cacao, dried fruits, and a persistent finish of caramel, spicy flavours of vanilla and cinnamon. Slightly dry and taut with a full body and warming alcohol. Intense flavours of nuts and leather. A touch of salinity and bitter orange peel may be present.

The Finish: The finish is long and elegant, balancing between the lingering tropical fruit notes and a refreshing minty undertone. The oak influence provides a structured backbone, ensuring a satisfying conclusion to the tasting experience. Welcoming and long-lasting, this leaves lingering notes of toasted nuts, spice, and a slightly saline tang. Sometimes hints of balsamic or varnish due to oxidation.

Please note that specific tasting notes may vary slightly depending on the cask selection and individual palate.
