Appearence: Pale straw yellow color; luminous, with golden and slightly greenish tones. Medium bodied due to its lower alcoholic content.

Aroma: Fruity, intense cooked Agave, apple, pear, vanilla, and caramel, slightly smoky. Subtle white pepper. Allowed to breathe, it becomes creamy with hints of butter, clove, and sandalwood.

Taste: The sweetness of the cooked Agave flavors predominate; herbal, pepper, slightly smoked, with notes of caramel, cocoa, vanilla, and nuts (walnut, peanut, hazelnut). A very soft & smooth, yet spicy finish.

Very well balanced between spicy and sweet. Perfect for a Margarita cocktail, but also to enjoy neat or on the rocks.

Agave Pina's are harvested by Jimadores, slowly baked for 4 days, then crushed to extract the Mosto. Fermented by an 80-year old yeast culture, double-distilled in Tequilano Pot Stills, aged in used Jim Beam American oak barrels then barely filtered and bottled. Bourbon barrel aging draws out notes of caramel, oak, and smoke and ends with a smooth finish.
