A clear, limpid appearance with long, thick legs running down the glass.

FLAVORS
A very intense nose with a richness of aromas that seems to evolve each time the glass is smelled; a perfect balance between the vegetal notes of sugar cane and brown sugar, with citrus notes of lemon zest. This is followed by a delicate fruity note of raspberry and coconut.

IN THE GLASS
A dry attack with a sweetness reminiscent of sugar cane. On the mid-palate, spicy notes such as pepper, vanilla and citrus are released. The finish is long, with the very vegetal taste of sugar cane and a slight citrus bitterness.
