Tasting Notes
"The aromas here are a diverse mix of green leaves, roasted peppers, earthy clay, and a touch of rubber with a top note of pineapple. The sotol feels soft on the palate and there's a bit of smoke throughout, but it just accents the herbaceous, earthy and savory flavors in the sotol. If you're up for an adventure, you'll be happy with this purchase. Would sip, but totally fine to mix as well. "
