X-FACTOR

A quintessential Mezcal with class and style.

TASTING NOTE

Bright, crystal clear. The aromatics are very intense, presenting scents of agave, smoke, tropical fruit, and sea salt with supporting notes of fresh cut herbs and chili. The palate substantially agrees with the nose delivering an agave-driven core with flavors reminiscent of sandalwood, honeydew, tropical fruit, and jasmine. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and flawlessly balanced with an opulent texture.
