The Appearance: Deep, opaque dark mahogany-black with brilliant clarity and a thick, velvety cling on the glass.
The Aroma: Intensely aromatic, toasted, and balsamic. Opens with high-toned notes of pure Italian licorice, star anise, and toasted woody botanicals, backed by a refreshing hint of ginger hydrosol.
The Palate: Rich, velvety, and mouth-filling. Sweet licorice and balsamic anise coat the tongue, supported by xanthan-driven viscosity, subtle citrus notes, and a gentle electric warmth from Timut Sichuan pepper.
The Finish: Lingering, complex, and persistent, leaving a mouth-watering, balsamic licorice aftertaste with a warm ginger-spice glow.
