AnttiRG 3.5

An elegant, Agave Spirit by Del Maguey distillery NOM-O41X founded by Ron Cooper in San Luis del Rio, Mexico. Distilled in copper pot stills in Autumn by the family of Paciano Cruz Nolasco to share in the celebration of Dia de los Muertos. It is crafted from 100% mature agave Espadin & bottled at 45% ABV. It has an aromatic birth with notes of tropical fruits, vegetables, flowers, herbs & spices; while a creamy life adds notes of apple skins, roasted pineapples, cooked orange rind, poblano peppers, vanilla bean & anise; that led to a long & balanced death with notes of cider, sea spray & a beach campfire.

Looneyhead 3.3

Nose of minerality, concrete, earth, wood, bitter greens, metal and smoky agave. On the palate dry, mineral and very earthy with pepper, wood, smoke and a little citrus and apple.
