X-FACTOR

The judges loved the balance of smoke, minerality, and herbal notes.

TASTING NOTE

Bright, crystal clear. The aromatics are very intense, presenting scents of agave and citrus with supporting notes of smoke, sea salt, and green melon. The palate is more intense than the nose delivering an agave-driven core with supporting flavors of smoke, sea salt, grapefruit, minerality, and lemon zest. The finish is crisp. Full-bodied and pleasingly balanced with a vibrant texture.
