Liquor
Description
Dried leaves: The buds, shaded in bronze and ebony, exhale notes of candied tamarind and crème de cassis.
Infused leaves: Caramel in colour and with brilliant reflections, a scent of raw cocoa bean blends with the fruitiness of ripe jackfruit.
Liquor: Bright mahogany. An elegant woody note reminiscent of rose combines with a hint of chocolate-coated, candied orange. Delightfully joyful!
