Tasting Notes
Nose
Tropical fruit, vanilla, citrus, honey, and a light coastal breeze
Palate
Rich and fruity with mango, vanilla, toffee, gentle spice, and a pleasant oiliness
Finish
Medium to long with tropical fruit, vanilla, and a hint of sea salt
How to Enjoy
Enjoy neat or with a few drops of water. The tropical character also works in a highball.
