This stuff is awesome! Super earthy and vegetal. I get a ton of raw pepper, black pepper, grass, minerality and earthiness on the nose and palette with a delicious lengthy finish that leaves you wanting more. Really complex. I was also able to try it at over 120 proof and that was legitimately some of the craziest/delicious stuff I’ve ever tried. Love that they went back to their roots to produce it in “the jungle”.
Wow this is a fantastic high proof with a very unique aroma once you pop the bottle open. This is something special. You wouldn’t know this was 47% as there is no burn. Nose: cooked agave, Earthy, vegetal, grass, brine, minerals, grapefruit, and cinnamon. Palate: cooked agave, Earth, vegetal, grass, black pepper, citrus, cinnamon, mint, brine, and minerals. A great long finish with a nice oily viscous mouth feel. Truly a very special bottle.
