Distiller: Tio Pedro Hernandez
Bottler: 5 Sentidos
Brand: 5 Sentidos
Selection:
ABV: 51% ABV
Age: NA
Nose: Vinegar, olives, blue cheese. Crisp brine, vanilla bean. Stanky agave and a dry martini crossed in the middle. Super fun nose. Cream cheese frosting for days.
Taste: Rich mouth feel. Honey, wafer cookie. Lots of rich creamy sweetness before the funk rolls in. Clay, brine, olive, earth and a lovely savory note. Faint pepper. Heat very much in check. The clay character is really something.
Finish: Long, meaty. Smoked beef, tomato, vinegar and a chalky vegetal exit.
Overall: All over the board in the best way. I can’t think of anything i’ve had that is like this. I love how diverse and interesting it is.
Thanks for reading!
