Nose: Pre swirl: Minerals, fruitiness, greenish pineapple, citrus, lemon/lime, cinnamon. After a few minutes and a gentle swirl: The rich ripe agave notes amp up as does the pepper. Straw, trace barnyard funk, earthiness and anise.
Flavor: An unexpected “Jack in the box” appearance of ethanol and pepper heat, cloaked in silky agave sweetness, caught me off guard. A couple more baby sips, and my palate caught up with my nose. There’s a slight smoky element going on in the background. And spices evolve. Buttery, somewhat briney.
Finish: 11 Brix coats the mouth and holds the flavors and sensations for a long , lazy ride. Then gently fades into the night.
