2021 Vintage. Opened first within a couple months of release.
This is really fantastic, but so is regular benthic (2021), specifically and especially when fresh. Lots of coconut, but not in the pastry territory of something like Coconut Vibes. Coffee is still present, but balanced by the coconut. Mouthfeel is on point.
I tried to rate this for what it is, not whether or not I felt a little let down - which I did. I had expectations that it would be a little more coconut forward. In fact, I'm not sure it is truly that much different than regular benthic, but that doesn't make it any less delicious. It just didn't quite meet the expectation I set for it.
