Tasting Notes

Nose

Bright cooked agave and citrus — lime zest and grapefruit — dominate the opening, with a fresh herbaceous note of thyme and mint beneath. A subtle mineral quality and a hint of white pepper add complexity.

Palate

Clean and expressive, with sweet cooked agave, green apple, and a touch of honeyed floral character. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied and silky, with herbal and mineral notes providing structure. A pleasant white pepper warmth builds without overwhelming.

Finish

Medium length, clean and bright, with lingering agave sweetness and a mineral-driven fade. Fresh and satisfying.

Food Pairing

The tequila's citrus brightness and mineral backbone mirror the acidity in lime-cured shrimp ceviche, while the herbal notes complement fresh cilantro and serrano chile in the dish.
