Nose – Light, vegetal and earthy; lemon-scented hand soap, very faint grass, mushrooms, wet asphalt, and some fresh produce.
Palate – Bright, acidic and hot! A brilliant hit of citrus; ripe oranges, jalapeños, green peppers, and a lot of honey.
Finish – The acidy wanes off into a mellow bittersweetness; orange rind and agave syrup.
Fantastic! A little hot to start, but absolutely enjoyable when it airs out. It’s boozy and robust, so unfortunately its abrasiveness pegs it down a notch. Another stellar surprise from Salvadores, classic Tep if I do say-so myself!

Nose – Halved jalapenos. Violets. Olive oil. Cooked pasta.
Palate – Quite the combination of vegetal and floral notes. Icing sugar. Some shaved parmesan cheese in the finish. Definite alcohol burn in the back end. Very flavorful but definitely on the smokier side.
