Aroma: Green agave, orange zest, fresh pastry, slight heat

Palate: Spearmint, banana, cinnamon, citrus peel

Finish: Herbal, lasting, develops sweetness over time

Initial aromas of lime and agave, very clean with a hint of sweetness. The taste consists of a very light citrus blended with agave, a touch of oak, and a pleasant consistency throughout. The finish is incredibly smooth blend of...agave and lime, with herbal notes of basil that linger on the palate. A true sipping blanco tequila that is among the best.
