Tasting Notes
"Tropical fruit aromas curl around scents of roasted agave and sweet mesquite smoke on the nose. The pineapple adds dimension, rather than dominating the palate. It mixes with flavors of rich, milk chocolate, earthy charcoal smoke and a hint of grapefruit zest. The finish is earthy, tangy, and zesty with a curl of sweet smoke rather than too sweet and fruity overall. "
