Flavor Profile:
Revered as a "blanco-lover’s reposado.” The 3-month barrel rest adds subtle layers of toasted marshmallow, marzipan, vanilla, and gentle baking spice while keeping the sweet, vegetal agave character front-and-center. The profile showcases notes of tangerine, canela, and lemongrass, all around a core of roasted agave, anise, salted caramel, and cantaloupe.
