Aroma: Caramelized banana, canned pineapple, ripe mango, clove, cinnamon, black pepper, and molasses.
-
Palate: Explosive tropical fruit, brown sugar, cocoa hints, tobacco accents, and vibrant baking spice over a muscular, oily texture.
-
Finish: Long, warming, with lingering esters, oak spice, and dark‑sugar tones that stay vivid through dilution.
