The origin

Tasting

• Nose: A rich and complex nose, with aromas of dried fruit, caramel and vanilla, mingled with notes of toasted oak and light smoke. A touch of citrus and honey adds freshness.
• Palate: A powerful attack, revealing intense flavors of candied fruit, dark chocolate, and roasted coffee. Spices, such as cinnamon and black pepper, blend harmoniously with woody and slightly peaty notes.
• Finish: Long and persistent, marked by a gentle spicy warmth, notes of bitter cocoa and a light touch of licorice that lingers elegantly.
