Nose

The aromas are earthy with a sweet touch, showing off melon rinds, soft herbs like tarragon and chervil, and a hint of wet cement on the back end (in a good way). 

Taste

Cool and crisp on the palate, the flavors are bright and fresh with wintergreen, juicy cantaloupe, fresh grass, and pineapple husk. The slight tongue tingle adds to the refreshing quality while staying silky and light in texture. Insanely easy to sip and sip, the 48% alcohol is not hot at all, rather balanced and ‘en su punto.’
