TASTING NOTES

Nose: A harmonious balance of fresh sugarcane with hints of vanilla & dried light oak.

Palate: The experience is light bodied with the natural, subtle sweetness of exotic fruits.

Finish: The initial sweetness quickly dries off leaving citrus peel, touches of vanilla, white pepper and sweet spices.
