On the palate you appreciate a soft but present structure: the alcoholic warmth is controlled, the progression is fluid and the finish leaves impressions of honey, light sweet tobacco and fine spices. A distillate for contemplation rather than casual drinking, it lends itself to a slow tasting in a tulip glass; it pairs well with dark chocolate, dry pastries and aged cheeses, or can satisfactorily close a meal as a digestif to be sipped slowly.

Distillation

Ageing
Aging in French oak barrels (Gascogne and Allier) of 225 and 400 L in a humid chai on a packed-earth floor; natural evaporation (angel's share) estimated at about 3–5% per year; gradual reduction with osmosis-treated water before bottling.
