Privada Storytelling
A Connecticut with Spirit
The Ghost Connecticut isn’t your average mild-mannered shade. It greets you with that familiar creamy elegance, then slides into unexpected terrain—peppermint, minerality, and graham cracker sweetness punctuated by flourishes of white pepper and coffee. It’s like waking up to the softest thunder. Produced by PDR in the Dominican Republic, this is Gurkha’s cleanest expression of nuance yet—an approachable daily driver with just enough mystery to keep you coming back.
Flavor Journey
First third: Smooth cedar and buttered toast mingle with light white pepper and a refreshing mineral-menthol quality on the retrohale.
Second third: Salted graham, fresh-cut herbs, and a floral sweetness begin to layer over a soft doughy body.
Final third: A chewy coffee-doughnut vibe emerges with gentle spice. Espresso lingers, balanced by bready sweetness and subtle pepper.
