This is an explosive spirit; the nose is bright with notes of woodshop, lime leaf and cooked agave. At first taste it quickly expands and coats, giving the feeling of chewing on the aromas. The aromatic notes continue through on the palate with a touch of bitter melon. The acidy is high leaving the mouth watering. There is a light numbing effect, which is a surprise at this abv.
