Description

Nose: It has a relatively light, yet deep and sweet aroma, with notes of roasted agave, toasted corn, vibrant citrus (grapefruit, lemon), and sometimes a hint of ethanol.
Palate: The taste is rich and creamy, featuring a balance of sweet syrup, fruitiness (dried fruit, pineapple), sweet almond, green bell pepper, black pepper, and ash. The sweet and savory balance is a recurring highlight for taste panelists.
Finish: The finish is long and smooth, developing a notable smokiness with lingering overtones of mint and chocolate. Some reviewers note a comparison to peaty Islay whiskies due to the prominent smoke and mineral notes.
