Tasting Notes
"Pure, caramelized aromas of roasted agave are backed up by cola spices (allspice, ginger, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon) on the nose. The palate is of light to medium weight, with sweet roasted agave notes at the forefront. Flavors of burnt sugar and flat cola add to a sweet-spice mix with a peppery heat and subtle flavor of blood orange. The finish is a tad on the thin side, but ends on a sweet note-fruity note with a hint of banana. "
