Tasting notes:
Colour: dark gold.
Nose: layered and inviting: vanilla pod highlighted by delicate honeycomb and fresh straw complement the fragrant pipe tobacco and light oak undertones.
Taste: creamy vanilla marshmallow matures into drying cocoa powder. Zesty lime and honey balance bitter chocolate, flashes of fresh ginger and ripe tropical fruits add depth.
Finish: medium, distinctive lingering toasted oak complemented by drying cocoa powder.
