Polished oak, old leather, tobacco. Maritime notes subtle but present: distant sea air, gentle brine. Dark chocolate, coffee, walnut. Floral notes: dried roses. Spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom. Light peat smoke barely perceptible. Incredibly harmonious.

Remarkably refined. Complexity: 9/10. Recommended serving: Serve neat only. Room temperature, finest glassware. Allow 15-20 minutes breathing. Perfect for special occasions.
