Tequila Tapatio

Cooked agave and baked earth lead the nose, followed by black pepper, citrus and a light mineral note. The palate is concentrated and savoury, with sweet roasted agave, mint and herbaceous freshness balancing the higher-proof warmth. Flamed orange peel, red apple and a touch of raspberry bring lift before a long finish of spice, agave and gentle sweetness. Serve neat with a little water, or use it where a Margarita or Paloma needs a more assertive agave core.
