Tasting Notes
Quite light and clean, with vanilla, light citrus, hints of oak, and a touch of coconut, but surprisingly lacking most of the agave that was on the nose. You'll also sense tropical fruits like melon and pineapple, along with lemony notes that become more pronounced as it moves throatwar
