FORMAT: Toro (652)
ORIGIN: Nicaragua (Tacasa SA)
INTENSITY: Medium
SPICE: 3/5
NOTES:
White peppercorn | Caramel | White chocolate
Green peppercorn | Caramel | Cocoa butter
Leads with a white peppercorn then dipped then dipped frenetically again in carameL. Other bits: White chocolate and a kicky dessert spice oliO. Very much lesser, in the deeper depths: salt, slate, a loamy soil--a fine "'ello, guV!"
Everything is balanced well after an out-of-the-gate somewhat lurchy stumblE. Light evolutions churn*-out a terra cotta and buttery cedar; so sophisticated of an unfurL. You know what--cocoa butter, and the white peppercorns become green and *butterY.
