On the palate there’s so much going on it’s a little difficult to figure out what’s happening. Creamy in texture with initial notes of cherries and Port wine, the agave kicks in in short order, with lots of pepper showing along with some green onion notes. The finish sees layers of sesame oil alongside a lingering, green herbal character.
The most present flavors are pineapple, walnut, and vanilla. The agave and some of the botanicals take more of a backseat, but it really works well. There is a very slight black pepper burn at the finish, but it helps to pull the everything together.
The palate is sweet, with chocolate nougat and peanut shells, followed by pomegranate, dates, and oak. A quick finish offers burnt salted caramel, spearmint and medicinal notes, and honey.
