Tasting Notes
"The aroma has a light cinnamon dusting on top of lime peel, cooked agave, and gentle oak. There's a medium body on the tequila on the palate with a peppery bite on the tongue. The flavor is lightly bitter and leans more herbal/vegetal. There's definitely a whiskey flavor here as well, but that's maybe a 1.8 on a scale of 10. Overall, a pleasant reposado. Would serve on the rocks. "
