TASTING NOTE
Brilliant, crystal clear. The aromatics are very intense, offering scents of honey, agave, and grass with supporting notes of sandalwood and truffle. The palate substantially agrees with the nose delivering a straw-driven core with supporting flavors of sea salt, campfire, and chili. The finish long and spicy. Medium-bodied and substantially balanced with a chewy texture.
