Tasting Notes
"The bouquet offers up aromas of grapefruit peel, dried apricots, damp earth, vanilla, and a hint of geraniums. On the palate, this has a slightly oily mouthfeel, with light agave, white pepper, butterscotch and straw. A medium finish featuring fresh agave, black pepper, cloves and Madagascar vanilla leaves the palate refreshed and wanting more. This is an excellent example of a valley (Lowlands) tequila."
