TASTING NOTE
Bright, crystal clear. The aromatics are very intense, presenting scents of almonds, sea salt, and mushroom with supporting notes of honey and melon. The palate is more intense than the nose delivering a spicy agave-driven core with flavors of bacon, blanched almonds, sandalwood, and melon. The finish is long and slightly bitter. Full-bodied and largely balanced with a waxy texture.
