Tasting Notes
"Barrel aging tames the heat on the nose somewhat but the proof does intensify the woodiness. The palate has a touch of sweet agave and spearmint. Heat remains on the palate where mint and wood are joined by vanilla. The finish is long with lingering spice and an intimation of citrus peel. Again, best with a splash of Topo Chico to tame the proofiness."
