BeauFort London Lignum Vitae

BeauFort London Lignum Vitae contrasts bright mandarin and black-pepper bite with the buttery sweetness of madeleine cake. Ginger and juniper warm a dense lignum vitae wood core before frankincense resin, salted moss and amber leave a dry, contemplative finish.

Profile: Citrus gourmand / woody salty resinous.

Notes: mandarin, black pepper, madeleine cake; juniper, ginger, lignum vitae wood; frankincense resin, amber, moss.

Evolution: mandarin, black pepper and madeleine cake → juniper, ginger and lignum vitae wood → frankincense resin, amber and moss.

Best for: For an eccentric gourmand who can picture a windswept harbor, a dark raincoat and the welcome of a small bakery on the way back. Madeleine cake meets pepper, hard wood and incense rather than behaving like a straightforward dessert, so the salty-resinous turn may surprise sweet-toothed buyers.

Origin: United Kingdom.
