HOW TO SERVE
A easy choice in a Margarita or classic Paloma. There is also a tomato note that would play well in a Bloody Maria or next to a house-made sangrita.
X-FACTOR
Judges remarked that this is classic valley style of Tequila with tremendous versatility.
TASTING NOTE
Brilliant, crystal clear. The nose is subtle, offering scents of mandarin, almonds, and agave with supporting notes of sandalwood and earth. The palate substantially agrees with the nose delivering a grass-driven core with supporting flavors of sea salt, clay, and dried herbs. The finish is slightly bitter. Light to medium-bodied and substantially balanced with a waxy texture.
