Aroma: Agave intensity abounds, accompanied by the scent of lime. Herbal notes of thyme and sage are present, surrounded by sweet vegetalness. Cinnamon and white pepper add spicy touches, while olive brine provides a subtle salinity. After a few minutes, the aroma of flowers becomes apparent. Taste: Sweet, cooked agave is the star on the palate. Cinnamon and white pepper work harmoniously to offer a pleasant spiciness. The lime scent carries over, providing a citrus punch. A combination of vegetal, herbal, and fruity notes is present, including olives, thyme, sage, and honeydew melon. A nice minerality and creamy texture are also notable. There is also a balancing Floralness that gives this a Finesse to counter all these other Powerful flavors. Finish: The finish is long with Agave and Spice! This is the second time over the last 5 months that I have tasted this at the 106 Proof mark and it has been consistently delicious! When the Salvaje becomes available, it's another High Proof to add to the collection!
