Tasting notes：

Nose: Rich, heady. Terpenic (lava), empyreumatic (fuel, gasoline), oily, medicinal (tiger balm), camphoraceous, musky, and chocolatey, the aromatic palette is anything but subtle. With aeration, cane sugar and macerating fruits (persimmon, mango, kaffir lime) release their pronounced aromas into the olfactory space.

Palate: Lively, powerful. The flavor profile is impressively rich and concentrated. Ashy, almost peaty, it evokes at times a single malt from the Isle of Islay – an impression reinforced by a mineral evolution reminiscent of coal. Very fruity (pineapple) and liqueur-like (cane sugar), the finish brilliantly asserts its Jamaican identity.

Finish: Long, velvety. Deliciously vanilla (pod) and rich in esters, it unfolds with particularly harmonious floral (carnation, geranium) and honeyed (geranium) nuances. On the retro-nasal, flavors of dark chocolate and cardamom tea lend it a noble expression. Long after, the petrol-like scents escaping from the empty glass permeate the air.
