Tasting Notes

Nose: A surprisingly vibrant and complex nose for a lower proof spirit. Initial notes of cooked agave are prominent, interwoven with sweet vanilla, a hint of caramel, and a delicate spice reminiscent of cinnamon and white pepper. Underlying fruitiness, perhaps ripe pear or green apple, emerges with further exploration, along with a subtle earthy minerality.

Palate: The palate is remarkably smooth and approachable, a testament to its agave origins. Sweet cooked agave dominates, followed by soft vanilla and a gentle sweetness that suggests light brown sugar. The oak influence is subtle and well-integrated, presenting as a faint warmth rather than an overt woodiness. A delicate peppery spice builds gently on the mid-palate, balanced by a creamy texture. Hints of citrus zest and a touch of roasted nuts add further complexity.

Finish: A clean, medium-length finish that leaves a pleasant warmth on the tongue. The cooked agave notes linger, accompanied by a receding sweetness and a whisper of white pepper and baking spice. It's a remarkably clean and refreshing finish, encouraging another sip.
