Nose: Caramel and dried fruits intertwine with pencil shavings, creating a rich and inviting aroma. With time, delicate notes of almond milk and marshmallows add a soft, creamy touch.

Taste: Full-bodied and decadently creamy. Buttered scones and strawberry milkshake take center stage, complemented by a pinch of white pepper and a subtle nuttiness.

Finish: Medium to short. The warmth lingers, with peppery undertones giving way to a final wave of rich dried fruits.

Comment: Indulgently comforting.
