Privada Storytelling

Flavor Journey
After lighting, pepper and espresso burst forward, backed by leather and cedar. The mid-third smooths into dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and creamy oak, with nutmeg and earth joining in. The final third delivers a lingering pepper and espresso fusion with toasty earth and cocoa, finishing long and nuanced.
