Tasting Notes
"This expression is fairly similar to the Guerrero bottle, with a touch more tangerine in its citrus flavors and sweeter herbal notes (such as spearmint) along with the savory, grassy ones. The mid palate enjoys a respite of vanilla and milk chocolate, though it still has quite the peppery kick. At high strength it delivers a bit of a burn going down."
