Tasting Notes
Similar to the 40% but the difference is subtle. In terms of the production process, the 45% expression is made from agave grown wild on a single estate with rich red mineral soil and is fermented in clay amphoras. The result for the 45% expression is slightly more mineral and anise notes, as well as dried fruits (pear and apple).
