Pairing & serving
Taste neat in a small pour, then add water gradually. Try with roasted cashews or a lightly spiced dessert. 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.
