Nose: Bright and direct with cooked agave leading the way, framed by a mineral edge and a touch of salinity. Citrus zest lifts the profile, while cinnamon and black pepper adds warmth. A faint trace of alcohol rises but folds back quickly, letting the spice and agave hold center. Palate & Mouthfeel: Medium light on weight but strikingly oily, coating the palate. Agave drives the flavor from the first sip, joined by a lively punch of jalapeño and black pepper that builds. Citrus cuts through with freshness, while minerality keeps the structure taut. Finish: Clean, the finish hums with sweet agave underscored by that persistent peppery spice. A subtle lift from the champagne yeast lingers - not completely obvious, but felt as a faint effervescence and a soft, almost vinous brightness that carries the flavors further than expected. Final Thoughts: This blanco captures a balance I look for - sweet, expressive agave tempered by spice that feels deliberate and alive. Compared to their high proof blanco, this carries more edge and character, with a spiciness that doesn’t overwhelm but instead sharpens the profile. For me, it’s the stronger of the two, and a standout example of how heat and sweetness can meet in harmony.

Loads of baking spices on the palette., cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger. Almost like a bakery. Little pineapple and little barrel oak
