Tasting Notes

Nose

Bright cooked agave sweetness mingles with citrus zest — lime and grapefruit in equal measure. Beneath that, a clean mineral earthiness and a whisper of fresh grass keep things honest. No perfume, no tricks.

Palate

The entry is silky with sweet roasted agave and white pepper, transitioning into herbaceous mint and thyme notes at mid-palate. A distinct minerality gives the liquid weight beyond its proof. Clean and precise throughout.

Finish

Medium, with lingering agave sweetness, a flash of black pepper, and a dry mineral fade that invites another sip.
