Ashton Symmetry Belicoso

The Ashton Symmetry Belicoso opens with a medium-to-full-bodied profile of sweet cedar, creamy cocoa, and roasted coffee, accented by hints of cinnamon and dried fig that provide both warmth and layered complexity. The retrohale delivers white pepper, toasted oak, and a touch of citrus zest, adding brightness and aromatic lift to the experience. By the second third, flavors transition into milk chocolate, cashew, and honeyed graham cracker, creating a smooth, velvety texture. The final third deepens with espresso crema, charred cedar, and bittersweet cocoa, finishing long, refined, and harmoniously spiced.
