Tasting Notes
"On the nose, there are notes of vanilla, pineapple, plantain and a hint of cachaça’s characteristic funk. The full-bodied palate offers holiday spices, orange peel, caramel and subtle grass and vegetal notes. The medium finish offers more spice, tropical fruit and notes of cinnamon and chocolate."
