TASTING NOTE
Brilliant, crystal clear. The nose is subtle, offering scents of wild flowers, tropical fruit, and sandalwood with supporting notes of baked agave and cantaloupe. The palate is more intense than the nose delivering a campfire-driven core with flavors of almonds, bacon, citrus, and wild flowers. The finish is long and spicy. Full-bodied and largely balanced with a chewy texture.
