On the nose is fresh, sweet, fruity agave and a hint of oak with subtle vanilla interwoven amongst the sour citrus aromas in the background, and a touch of fresh cut chili peppers. - On the palate I get dusty white pepper, oak, vanilla, light fruit, agave, chili pepper flakes, pineapple, lemon juice, and honey. A lot going on in the palate! Considerable spice compared to the silver. - The finish has a spicy pepper tingle, clean wood flavour, and a faint floral note appearing with the sweet vanilla.
