HOW TO SERVE
The high-proof calls for a dilution of some kind ranging from a simple Highball with coconut water and soda or to elaborate Tiki cocktails.
X-FACTOR
It's a bold and unique style of pure, fermented cane juice with Caribbean style despite being made half a world away.
TASTING NOTE
Brilliant, crystal clear. The aromatics are very intense, giving scents of tropical grass with supporting notes of mineral, floral, and tropical fruits. The palate echoes the nose delivering a cane sugar-driven core with flavors akin to fresh hay and medicinal roots with hints of anise. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a voluptuous texture.
