Flavor profile

Melon, stone fruit and lemongrass aromas; black tea, orange peel and raspberry on the palate.

Pairing & serving

Try neat, then with water, alongside roast duck or orange-scented dark chocolate. No decanting is needed.

After opening & when to enjoy

Keep upright, tightly closed, away from heat and sunlight. The spirit is ready to enjoy and does not continue barrel aging in the bottle. After opening, aim to enjoy within about a year for the freshest aroma, especially as the bottle empties.
