Tasting Notes

Nose

Unlike anything else in the range. Bright, herbal, almost botanical — sage, tropical fruit, light smoke. The Arabic alembic and stainless steel give unusual clarity.

Palate

Lively and structural. Green herbs, tropical notes, a faint floral quality. Cleaner and more immediate than the Oaxacan expressions.

Finish

Short-to-medium. Fresh and clean. The herbs linger quietly.

How to Serve

Neat, or with a single ice sphere. Also excellent in a highball with good sparkling water.

Food Pairing

Light seafood, ceviche, herb-forward dishes.
