Tasting Notes:

Bottle # 16468, Lot # 170307/9
Pale amber with clear fringes.
Mellow sweet nose of vanilla French oak, slightly earthy agave, and flinty, peppery alcohol.
Soft and elegant in style. The palate's dominant feature is french oak and vanilla with some interplay of minty notes, pepper, and earthy agave.
