Tasting notes
The Perdomo Double Aged (Vintage 12 Years) Gordo Extra (Maduro) captivates at first glance with its majestic wrapper. Its dark and slightly oily color is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship. The flawless wrapper offers a sensation of luxury in hand, while the wide band adorned with tasting notes heralds a rich and intriguing experience.
Upon first contact, the pre-light aromas reveal a captivating aromatic spectrum. Upon lighting, one discovers initially mineral and floral notes, complemented by a beautiful vanilla sweetness. The olfactory profile is completed by mysterious hints of leather and pepper, promising a harmonious development of flavors.
On the palate, this Gordo Extra offers a complex development throughout the thirds. The first third begins with a sweet harmony, gradually enriched with roasted coffee and tropical fruits, evoking nuances of orange and lime. The second third sees the intensification of woody notes and cocoa, while the richness of the aromas is accompanied by creamy and densely aromatic smoke. Finally, the last third reveals a beautiful combination of sweetness and light spices, leading to an exquisite finish.
The final sensation is marked by a remarkable finish, with a sweet persistence on the palate, where coffee and a slight bitterness meet perfectly. The balance between strength and sweetness is exemplary, making this Perdomo a top choice for cigar enthusiasts.
Ideal to savor after a hearty meal, this cigar pairs wonderfully with a peated whisky or an aged rum, enriching your tasting moment with subtle and flavorful accords.
