Crafted with a carefully curated blend of 85% native Oaxacan black corn and 15% malted barley, this spirit showcases its Mexican heritage through a symphony of intriguing aromas and flavors. The nose greets with hints of cherry jam, orange peel, and earthy vegetal notes, complemented by the subtle sweetness of banana peel. On the palate, it unfolds a funky yet alluring profile, unveiling ripe plantain, banana, coffee bean, rich brown sugar, and salted caramel notes that dance harmoniously. The finish lingers with the delightful essence of marzipan, vanilla sponge, and a touch of dusty oak, leaving a lasting impression.
