Source-faithful paraphrase only; not independent corroboration. Promotional company content adapted from Keyholder’s Journal; earlier version date unspecified. No chromatographic or sensory validation. Flavor descriptors cannot identify a unique molecule. Congener/tannin wording, ester mechanisms, mint-chain claims and evaporation/rancio explanation require primary-science checking. Images pending.
