Tasting notes

Appearance: Crystal-clear, clean and brilliant. Nose: A full, complex aromatic profile, combining deep notes of baked sweet potato, toasted dried fruit and lightly roasted cereals. Herbaceous and vegetal nuances, subtly smoky, intertwine with hints of dried hay and hazelnut, adding richness and harmony. Palate: The attack is powerful and silky, with an enveloping texture and remarkable aromatic intensity. Flavours of dried fruit, light caramel and roasted sweet potato are expressed with precision, supported by a toasty, slightly smoky structure. The controlled warmth of the alcohol lends length and structure, while preserving a convincing balance. The long, lingering finish reveals hints of sweet spices and roasted nuts. Overall impression: A spirit of great complexity, combining power, aromatic depth and finesse of execution, for a fully realised expression of its style.
