725 reviewsAromas of butterscotch, brown sugar, and starchy vegetables like carrots and potatoes. The palate has notes of peppermint (specifically Canada mints), menthol, sage, Vick’s VapoRub, jasmine, with a touch of anise. I’ve had other batches of Jabali from Don Tucho, which I didn’t like as much as this. This is a solid Jabali. No batch info on this sample unfortunately.

542 reviewsNose: A hint of aged, cojita queso. Strong personality on the nose, the sweet, smoky vapors are very asserting.
Palate: A floral sweetness. Nutty and salty. Great limestone/earthy tones. Finish is long, smoky with a seawater aftertaste.
