How it drinks

Sight
Clear, pale golden amber with a light sheen.
Nose
Sweet tropical fruit notes with hints of vanilla and oak. A subtle earthiness emerges beneath the fruit-forward character, with gentle floral undertones.
Palate
Smooth and mellow on the palate with flavors of ripe banana, coconut, and brown sugar. The tropical sweetness is balanced by a light spice and subtle mineral notes that add complexity.
Finish
A warm, lingering finish with sweet vanilla oak and a hint of tropical fruit that fades gracefully.

Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
