Nose: Exceptionally soft and appealing with swirls of vanilla and ethereal clouds of fruity candy. Over time, nuances of pencil shavings and the warm, woody scent of a sunlit attic emerge.

Taste: Full-bodied, yet remarkably delicate and complex, with layers of fruity sweetness resembling swirls and fluffy clouds. Subtle undertones of fizzy ginger and white pepper add depth.

Finish: The long finish retains a fresh, fruity vivacity with an almost fizzy quality that playfully dances on the tongue.

Comment: Enchantingly delicate.
