Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: The nose opens with a compelling interplay of sweet and savory notes. Expect aromas of roasted agave alongside hints of green peppercorn, fresh herbs like mint and eucalyptus, and a subtle earthy minerality. A touch of tropical fruit, such as green banana or guava, may emerge with aeration, adding complexity to the aromatic profile.
• Palate: The entry is vibrant and full-bodied, delivering a distinct vegetal character characteristic of Bicuixe. Flavors of cooked agave are prominent, accompanied by a refreshing salinity and a noticeable herbaceousness that evolves on the palate. Notes of green bell pepper, a subtle bitterness, and a hint of spice contribute to its intriguing complexity. The higher ABV provides a pleasant warmth and amplifies the nuanced flavors.
• Finish: The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of both sweetness and a dry, herbaceous quality. The minerality persists, intertwined with a subtle peppery spice and a final whisper of the unique vegetal notes that define this Bicuixe expression.
