Tasting Notes
"The aroma is dominated by sweet/savory smoke complemented by tropical fruit and a whiff of jalapeño. The assertive palate adds heat to the chile, along with both bright and roasted agave, a grassy herbaceousness and suggestions of fennel frond. The complex body is almost meaty in its intensity, a quality that continues into the moderately long finish."
