Serve chilled with nothing at all or use in your favorite Tequila cocktails. Less is more with accompaniments to this spirit as it is a complex drink on its own.
X-FACTOR
The judges were blown away by the generous and complex flavors that are presented in perfect balance.
TASTING NOTE
Bright, crystal clear. The aromatics are very intense, giving aromas of agave, baked apple, tropical fruit, and candied citrus zest with supporting notes of mandarin, melon, and watermelon. The palate echoes the nose delivering an agave-driven core with supporting flavors of lime, cantaloupe, and hints of orange peel. The finish is crisp. Medium-bodied and ideally balanced with a juicy texture.
