The initial engulfing aroma is, of course, smoky wood with a slight mesquite quality followed with a lactic tone, a lemon citrus note, grassiness with an ethyl sting in the nostrils that is tolerable. The taste, consistently everytime I pour a new fill, is all encompassing smoke, accompanied with a waxy vegeta note, grassiness, cooked agave, and anise. After the palate acclimates, notes of brine, pronounced cooked agave, delicious citrus, black licorice with spicy peppermint are enhanced. Finish is smokey tropical citrusy fruit, with persistent waxy grassiness reminiscent of long lingering mezcals on the palate.
