Tasting Notes

Nose

Clean cooked agave and bright citrus — lime and grapefruit — with an herbal mint quality and a hint of white pepper. A subtle mineral earthiness sits underneath.

Palate

Crisp and focused, with agave sweetness balanced by grass and green pepper notes. Citrus runs through the center, and there's a pleasant yeasty, bread-like quality that adds body.

Finish

Medium, with a clean agave fade, a flicker of white pepper, and lingering citrus peel.
