  • The palate is light and fruity, with pineapple, ripe grapefruit, lime and vanilla. More floral flavors and hot chili spice play off each other to add a subtle accent to the finish with just a hint of charcoal smoke.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Sweet cream, leather, clay, lightly stinky agave. Faint pepper, faint earthiness. Lightly lactic.

  • Taste:

    Rich and earthy. Lots of clay, pepper, minerality. Woody, lots of ash and smoked meats.

  • Finish:

    Long, hot, loaded with ash, clay and some pepper.

  • Overall:

    Nice stuff, but a little rough. The abundance of ash on the finish kind of detracts from the nose and palate for me. That said, I’d happily drink more of this.
