TASTING NOTE
Bright, medium golden color. The aromatics are very intense, presenting scents of agave, blanched almonds, caramel, and sultanas with supporting notes of brown sugar and gingerbread. The palate is in full accord with the nose delivering a barrel-driven core with flavors reminiscent of vanilla, dried fruits, caramel, baking spices, and roasted agave. The finish is long. Medium to full-bodied and pleasingly balanced with a silky texture.
