Nose

Asparagus and green peppers and strong earthy aromas. 

Taste

The flavors play between green vegetables, herbs, and baking spices like clove and anise. Chalky minerals create a nice texture for the flavors to develop on the palate, revealing more nuance as it sits on the tongue. The finish is caramelized with toffee and red chili heat. 

Method/Background 

Agaves are cooked in a masonry oven, tahona crushed, and fermented in masonry vats without agave fibers (mosto) and with natural yeasts. Distillation is done in a copper pot still, then aged in glass for 60 days.
