Tasting Notes

Cooked agave, caramel, honey, light vegetal note. Color ranges from clear to amber depending on production. The agave character should be identifiable — if it just tastes sweet without agave's distinctive earthy-vegetal note, the base is likely neutral spirit with agave flavoring. Quality versions show the roasted piña sweetness of proper agave processing. Finish varies: spirit-forward versions warm; syrupy versions just coat.
