Tasting Notes
"This astoundingly viscous spirit is quite buttery on the nose, oozing scents of caramel-pecan-cinnamon-buns. The palate gives way to the sotol's rustic earthiness, with cooked dill, chili peppers, and black pepper. The heavy weight is cut somewhat by a fresh eucalyptus/menthol characteristic, even more present here than with the blanco expression. "
