Real talk
Amber can go syrupy, synthetic, or loud. Black Amber does none of that. It's thick and resinous but wears close, almost intimate. The seaweed keeps it honest.Black Amber
The malt whisky in this one actually shows up, not as a gimmick but as an honest warmth, like the memory of a glass half-finished on a windowsill. Osmanthus brings the sweetness and restraint.Arborist
