Nose: Rich and heady. Scents of vetiver, rubber, sugarcane, and camphor vie for attention. Upon aeration, the aromatic palette becomes more medicinal (balm, mustard plaster) and smoky. Then, exotic fruits (banana, pineapple) permeate the olfactory space.

Palate: Lively and spirited. The palate is met with flavors of distillate full of character. A blend of coriander, tar, sugarcane, and geranium honey dominates the mid-palate. Finally, toffee and ripe bananas soothe the taste buds.

Finish: Long and heady. At the outset of the finish, the potency of the distillate serves as a foundation for the flavor profile. Gradually, lactose notes (agave, coconut), fruity hints (melon, apricot), and refreshing menthol emerge, refreshing an increasingly floral aftertaste, marked by iris concrete.
