Agave

Spirit Character
Year-RoundUsed in ~35 drinks

Agave is the vegetal, sweet-earthy soul of tequila and mezcal — a flavor that cannot be replicated by any other spirit base. Raw agave reads as green and peppery; cooked agave becomes honeyed and caramelized with roasted-vegetable depth. In cocktails, agave character provides a distinctive terroir-driven backbone that anchors Margaritas, Palomas, and the entire canon of Mexican-inspired mixology.

Aroma

Green, slightly peppery sweetness on the nose, with roasted vegetal notes and a honeyed earthiness that deepens in aged expressions.
