Clear color. Roasted aromas and flavors of peppered squash, clay, dried orange, green tea, red bean cakes, and sliced celery with a velvety, crisp, dry medium body and a smooth, complex, medium-long finish imparting suggestions of roasted carrots and raisin. A classic, earthy Tequila with smooth texture and a flavorful, lengthy finish.
