Tasting Profile
Ana María Romero Mena brings a winemaker’s and sommelier's perspective to the distillation process, highlighting the naturally sweet, fruity, and floral characteristics of highland terroir.
Nose: Expressive and complex. Dominant aromas of cooked agave, vanilla, and caramel blend seamlessly with fresh cantaloupe, white peach, honey, and delicate floral notes of rose and acacia petals.
Palate: Exceptionally smooth and silky with a rich mouthfeel. Layers of sweet caramelized agave open up into summer melon, fresh citrus zest, honey, and baking spices like cinnamon.
Finish: Clean, crisp, and fresh. It trails off with a light, warm peppery kick, a touch of minerality, and subtle hints of grapefruit zest
