| Excellent neat, in cocktails like margarita |
On the palate it reveals a balanced texture, with enough roundness to avoid austerity and a persistence that recalls citrus and a touch of white pepper. It works well both in cocktails, where it maintains clarity and personality, and enjoyed neat at a moderate temperature to catch the finer details. Pair it with simple, flavorful dishes such as grilled fish, ceviche or light tacos to highlight the freshness and cleanliness of the sip.
