Tasting Notes
"Sweet herbs such as mint, dill, and thyme mix with aromas of vanilla, and the zests of grapefruit and lime along with a faint whiff of honeysuckle. The palate has a balanced blend of rich, creamy vanilla and roasted agave notes cut with refreshing flavors of citrus peel and peppery spices. That pepperyness continues into the somewhat salty finish with peaks of earthy agave and a touch of sweetness poking through. "
