Papalote (A. Cupreata)
Bottle: 63/153
50.3% ABV
300 ltrs produced in Sept 2021. Bottled Dec 2021
Initial nasal impact is prickly and warming.
Aroma of tropical fruit – especially guava and mango, black licorice, honey and pickle. Dried flowers and herbal notes.
Oily mouthfeel with generous alcohol and drying.
The tropical fruit and black licorice carry over on the flavor. Pine is very noticable along with flat mineral water. Vegetal and honey on the retro nasal.
The 50.3 ABV lingers with the flat mineral water notes on a long finish.
Could be a little more balanced, as the alcohol dominates throughout, but still a nice papalote from 5 Sentidos
