From the distillery that also produces Calle 23, Hotel California, Xoloitzcuintle and several other brands, this is a nice, somewhat rustic presentation. The brand logo of one eyed quarter moons facing each other on a paper label frame the phrase "Entre Luz Y Sombra" meaning Between Light and Shadow. Very aromatic as soon as the cork was removed, this is a bit medicinal initially but that disperses quickly leaving a nice cooked agave aroma. Sipping this brings an immediate earthy agave taste that right upfront is highlited by the minerals in the deep well water used to make this. Nice viscosity is joined with natural sweetness and then a slightly bitter root vegetable finish and some tongue tingle.
