Tasting Notes
"This tequila has a pale amber hue, with an earthy and slightly vegetal aroma. Flavorwise, there's a surprising burst of sweetness initially that mostly fades into bitterness flecked with tinges of cardamom and black pepper. There's very little body to this tequila, though that sweetness sticks to the palate for a good long while."
