Tasting Notes

Aroma

Wet clay and cooked agave open to crushed river stone, green herbs and a wisp of ember smoke.

Taste

Full and earthy: damp limestone, dried stone fruit, cacao nib and a saline, mineral core.

Finish

Long and dry, terracotta and wet slate lingering over soft roasted agave and a gentle peppery lift.

Production Method

Artisanal Process

Cooked in conical earth oven, Tahona milled, naturally fermented and uniquely double distilled, starting in wood-fired 250L copper pot stills then finished in 70L ancestral clay pot stills.
