Twice-distilled in a vintage 1,210-gallon steam-powered copper pot still and cut with local volcanic water, it reflects both craftsmanship and local terroir.  Tasting Profile Aroma: A luxurious blanket of vanilla greets the nose, followed by dark semi-sweet chocolate, fresh espresso, and chocolate cupcake notes.Palate: A continuation of those aromas—potent vanilla and dark chocolate flavors dominate, with a subtle dryness and espresso finish that adds depth and nuance. Finish: Smooth and clean, with lingering espresso bitterness and a soft warming spice. Cocktail & Serving Uses This is a refined sipping experience best enjoyed neat or over a large ice cube. When mixed, it brings complexity to darker cocktails or elevated highballs.
