When you first nose this you get one dominant note- Rubber! Think freshly paved road and that's essentially what your smelling. Once it opens up, then you get clay, mesquite wood ash, and roasted agave. Taste is similar, big rubber notes and lots of smoke, followed by a vegetal note/roasted agave, and mineral notes. It would be top shelf, but what brings it down is that it is very alcoholic. At times you can work with it and other times it gets very hot that it'll numb you.
