Tasting Notes
"Sharp spices and a blast of citrus tickle the nose. The palate fans out to spicy notes of ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice and black pepper mixed with rich vanilla, grapefruit zest, cocoa, thyme and rosemary. A faint flavor of red bell pepper adds a fruity kick to this tequila, which has a long, warming finish that has a bit of zesty brightness filtering through the richness. "
