Nose: Mellow agave, with more pronounced apple character than the blanco. Tapatio's trademark pepperiness also very much in evidence. Becomes creamy and sweet, like Milkybars. Spices, grilled peppers and a faint trace of woodsmoke as it develops.

Taste: Less assertive than the blanco, but still plenty of pepper along with the other flavours from the nose. Balanced and creamy, with the spices mingling well with the vegetal elements. Mellowed by the wood.

Finish: Smooth, but still spicy. Fades slowly.
