Privada Storytelling
Named “Escuro” to signal its deeper character, this release compounds the Laranja legacy with a bold Brazilian wrapper. It's Opulent, full‑bodied, and built for moments that need darker depth without losing sophistication. In Privada’s lineup, it’s the contemplative crescendo—rich in texture and flavor, perfect for lingering conversations or focused rituals.
Flavor Journey
The Laranja Reserva Escuro begins with a smooth barrage of espresso and dark cocoa, layered with subtle leather and earthy richness. A soft mineral tang and roasted nut bitterness emerge, with baked spice and white pepper warming the palate. Mid-smoke reveals creamy oak and sweet maple, evolving into malt and salted caramel. The final third is polished—espresso deepens, leather sits firm, and charred wood and black pepper linger into the finish.
Why It Belongs in Privada
