About this raicilla

Review #30: sweet florals like elderflower, and lavender on the nose and front of the palate, this has moderate smoke, light minerals, black pepper, a bit of tart fruit like strawberry.
This is all quite delicate and while the flavors are nice, it’s just a bit weak overall. I strongly preferred their sotol over this.
