Quiquiriqui Mole Pechuga Agave Spirit Tasting Notes

Nose: Unadulterated and penetrating whiffs include sweet, sappy, herbal, rubbery aromas with a smokey/saline edge.

Palate: Intense and engaging in an oily wave of char-grilled capsicum, spent pipe tobacco, exotic agave and white pepper flavours.

Finish: The finish is vaguely fruity, sweet and grassy with lingering wood smoke. Potent and beautifully balanced.
