- No additives, no added sugars or flavors
- Without chemical fertilizers and pesticides
- Copper-plated Armagnac still and French distillation techniques
- No cold filtration
- Sustainably handmade in Thailand
- Aged for 30 months in a single Ex-Shochu cask (cask P10)
- 60.7% alc.

Tasting notes
Nose : Both fresh and heady. Restoring succulent notes of vesou, the first nose is extremely fruity (pineapple, pear), lactic (almond, rice) and vegetal (sugar cane). Allowed to breathe, scents of tuberose, geranium and mustard seed gradually take over the olfactory space.
Mouth : Elegant, dynamic. The attack on the palate is subtly vanilla, lemony and herbaceous. Slender, the mid-palate pours freshly squeezed sugar cane juice onto the tongue. More consistent, the finish evokes fibrous and syrupy cane.
Finale : Long, full-bodied. Notes of vanilla, coconut milk and aromatic plants (rosemary sage) give way to sweet spices (cinnamon, grated ginger) and honeyed (agave) and gourmet flavors (rice pudding).
