Nose - Cooked agave, oak, whiskey, dried fruit, vanilla Palate - cooked agave, oak, whiskey, vanilla Finish - Faint agave, barrel notes
The aroma reveals a refreshing minerality intertwined with herbal notes, vibrant citrus, subtle almond, and a gentle touch of alcohol. On the palate, potent minerality takes the lead, brightened by layers of citrus and a peppery kick. Grapefruit mingles with hints of celery, while miniscule sarsaparilla, anise, and spearmint lend complexity, balanced by a touch of honey and earthy tea undertones. The finish trails with grassy, vegetal notes and a distinct touch of pencil shavings, grounding the experience in a final wave of mineral essence.
