On the palate the sip is round and enveloping: warm without being aggressive, with a full body and an almost silky texture. The balance between sweet and savory allows for a long persistence, leaving memories of toasted caramel, figs and a light note of black pepper on the finish. Best enjoyed neat, in a small glass at room temperature or slightly cool; it pairs well with dark chocolate, aged cheeses or as a contemplative after-dinner drink. The gift box packaging also makes it a tasteful present for those seeking a mature, measured tequila.
