Nose: Caramel-forward and sweet, with a mild peppery kick and a cooling hint of menthol. A subtle green note emerges with time, alongside a delicate whiff of perfume.

Taste: Full-bodied and creamy, balancing richness with a touch of spice. Waves of caramel dominate, layered over a smooth and indulgent texture.

Finish: Long and lingering, with the caramel richness persisting. A light fizz and gentle green undertones add complexity, while the barest hints of polish and nuts appear towards the end.

Comment: Subtly intriguing.
