Statement
Ketrin Leka
Available information links Ketrin Leka to modern niche-style compositions such as Commodity Whiskey, which features a rich woody-amber profile with oak, mahogany, vanilla and vetiver contrasted by aromatic notes like lavender and wormwood and a dark-fruity top of plum, black currant and violet. This suggests a style that plays with warm woods, boozy nuances and textured aromatic-fruity contrasts.
