Tasting Notes
"There's a slight woodiness, coupled with roasty agave and modest vanilla on the nose. More-developed wood carries over onto the palate where it's joined by a pleasantly nutty bitterness reminiscent of roasted walnuts. A touch of heat here is mitigated by a pleasant creaminess and sweetened by modest vanilla. The finish introduces a suppressed spiciness--just enough to keep it grippy to the end."
