Brand: Aprendiz
Selection:
ABV: 45% ABV
Age: NA
Nose: Very crisp and clean. Salt, charcoal, light clay, some crisp green pepper, light sugar. Really crisp and clean overall.
Taste: Thin to medium mouth feel. Lots of nice smoke, ash, eatth and clay. Light pepper, some orange peel. Bright lemon and then robust agave character. No ethanol. Really pleasant, lots of great peppery spice.
Finish: Long, and rich. Some plastic here along with the pepper and charcoal. Crushed stone, honey, lime. Robust and vibrant, delicious.
Overall: I really enjoyed this. It demonstrated incredible earth, clay, smoke character without being a stanky mess. It’s complex and on target, with some nice character along the way.
Thanks for reading!
