Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Taste Notes
- Nose: Inviting and sweet. Prominent aromas of caramel, toasted nuts, and orange peel, with hints of chocolate, toffee, and a soft herbal undertone.
- Palate: Full-bodied and exceptionally smooth. It features layers of vanilla bean, sweet cooked agave, and roasted almonds, balanced by crisp herbal notes and a touch of cinnamon.
- Finish: Very long and silky. It leaves a rich, elegant aftertaste of toasted wood and brown sugar with a faint spicy tingle.
Food Pairings
- Savory: Grilled Ribeye or Slow-Cooked Carnitas. The caramel and oak notes in the tequila act as a natural companion to charred, savory fats and rich meat reductions.
- Cheese: Smoked Provolone or Aged White Cheddar. The smokiness of the cheese highlights the toasted oak, while the sharpness of the cheddar cuts through the spirit's sweetness.
- Sweet: Dark Chocolate Mousse or Crème Brûlée. This is an ideal "dessert tequila." Its vanilla and toffee profile enhances the bittersweet notes of cocoa and the caramelized sugar of a custard.
