Tasting Notes:
Nose: A delicate aroma unfolds with hints of freshly planed wood, light toffee, and subtle boat varnish. Linseed oil and a touch of lychee-like acidity add depth. When water is added, the nose sweetens, revealing warm, woody notes reminiscent of artists' turpentine and fresh leather, followed by a soft scent of warm sand and coffee dregs with brown sugar.
Palate: A gentle and nuanced palate begins with sweet fruit and light toffee, evolving to a pleasing acidity that enhances its overall character. Notes of wood and a hint of putty add a layer of complexity.
Finish: A dry, medium-length finish leaves a lingering sandalwood aftertaste with a sharp and well-balanced profile that invites you back for more.
