Tasting Notes
"There is an unusual roasted peanut flavor to this mezcal that truly sets it apart. The nuttiness fades into creamy vanilla, stewed agave, tropical fruits (banana, pineapple, mango) and just a hint of bitter grapefruit rind. Only a trace of smoke is evident in the finish, which goes down clean and smooth. "
