Nose: Rich honey, toffee, and vanilla lead with vibrant notes of fresh fruit and citrus zest, complemented by subtle hints of sandalwood and a faint sea saltiness from its ocean-aged finish.
Palate: A smooth, velvety mouthfeel reveals flavors of sweet, toasted coconut, caramel, and stewed apricot, followed by a mid-palate of exotic spices like ginger, cinnamon, and Japanese incense.
Finish: The finale is long, warming, and elegant, delivering lingering notes of vanilla, oak, and peppery spice alongside a whisper of dark chocolate and the signature sea breeze.
