“Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of chipotle peppers in mole, fresh cut lemon grass, ligero tobacco in an old humidor, and herbs and peppers on a hot pan with a round, lively, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, huge, long finish that presents shades of spicy cigar box and figs, mole on green apples, sautéed herbs, and green papaya and chlorophyll. Somehow manages to be both richly barrel-aged while expressing fresh green tones; perplexing, contemplative, well-executed, but most importantly decadently delicious.” 98 Points Tastings Review
