Nose : Intense and uncompromising. Marked by a powerful aromatic concentration, it opens on resinous and medicinal notes, with hints of hydrocarbons and warm oils. Camphor, musk and dark cocoa bring depth, while aeration reveals a more exotic side, with overripe fruits (mango, persimmon) and citrus peel, wrapped in a rich sugarcane sweetness.

Appearance : Or profond.

Palate : Vibrant and full-bodied. The attack is bold, almost smoky, with a slightly ashy, mineral edge reminiscent of charcoal. The texture is dense and layered, balancing ripe tropical fruits, led by pineapple, with a syrupy cane profile. The whole remains structured, precise and deeply expressive of its Jamaican identity.

Overall : Long and enveloping. Smooth yet persistent, it develops on vanilla pod, floral touches and delicate honeyed notes. The retro-olfaction brings back darker accents of cocoa and spiced tea, while lingering empyreumatic notes continue to unfold, leaving a lasting and distinctive imprint.
