There are layers of flavour as this is sipped. Roasted agave spirt leads with grassy, peppery, salty notes intermingled with minty fruity oaky smoke π¨. Sweet cinnamon candied apple π, malted cereal, orange π and lemon π peel, runny honey π―. On the next sip the layers flip. Delicious evolution whileβs maintaining a salty peppery spice finish long into the aftertaste π
