Light golden color. Thin legs that move down fairly quickly. Cooked agave and some sort of baking spices and maybe hay on the nose. Tastes of sweet cooked agave and vanilla with a notable alcohol gum numbness that’s not unwelcome. Medium finish with some more ethanol heat and the only real place I detected any oak. Good sipper from a great distillery!
Brilliant effort in experimentation! Too sour for me personally.
