Tasting Notes

Nose

Clean roasted agave, white smoke, fresh herbs — spearmint and green apple peel. Warm and immediately welcoming.

Palate

Roasted agave hearts, a thread of citrus, wild honey, soft wood smoke. The tahona adds texture — slightly grainy and satisfying.

Finish

Medium-long. Smoke recedes into something mineral and clean. A whisper of dried herbs lingers.

How to Serve

Neat, at room temperature. A wide-mouthed clay copita opens the aromatics.

Food Pairing

Tostadas with black bean and queso fresco. Grilled corn. Aged Manchego.
