Tasting Notes
"The nose is a heady mix of roasted agave, green bell pepper, grapefruit peel, roasted mushrooms, and toasted walnuts. The liquid has a luxuriously silky feel, with ample complexity that, like a good mole, hits savory, umami, spicy, and slightly sweet spots on the tongue. Flavors of porcini mushrooms mix with bell pepper, bittersweet chocolate, grapefruit and lime peel, cinnamon, chili pepper, earthy sage, and honeyed, roasted agave shine through. The finish is rich and slightly nutty—like roasted pumpkin and sesame seeds—with only a subtle sweetness. "
