TASTING NOTES...
Nose: Lactic out of the bottle – almost like a coastal raicilla from Jalisco, yet we’re nowhere near Jalisco or the coast. Also lots of tropical fruit on the nose. Very little smoke, and barely any of the grassy, straw like tones you might expect from cucharilla or sotol elsewhere. This is all Albarradas.
Palate: Those tropical fruits are much more pronounced on first sip and become bubble gum into the mid-palate. An earthiness starts to enter the back end, mixing with very pleasing notes of black pepper.
Finish: It’s only on the slightly dry finish that the clay pot style makes itself knows, leaving us with a mineral flourish that makes you want to go straight back around for that lactic start. Wonderful.
