Nose: Opens with creamy and sweet notes of carrot cake, dulce de leche, and chestnut honey. Poached pear leading blackberry and dried lime peel. Shimmering at the edges are countless herbs and dusty spices.
Palate: Lush sweetness is kept in check by some sandy tannin and high strength. Here, the rum takes center stage, with blackstrap molasses, sambuca, and olive brine arriving first. The rich dark character builds with date and chipotle leading into pipe tobacco and walnut. The amaro is never far behind, exhibiting licorice root, gentian, green cardamom and kola nut.
Finish: Green almond enriches an otherwise dry finish of black tea and slate.
