It smells minty and earthy with a hint of chili spice. The palate is quite minty with sharp spiciness that lingers with an oily presence. There's something here that's interestingly vegetal and herbal without being terribly bitter. There's a bit of a fruity sweetness with orange and maybe some cherry. I appreciate the umami but there are more mineral notes than I'd like. This is on the low side of sippable because of the eventual strong bitterness and alcohol. Lots of vanilla does come out, though that isn't necessarily good. Some light sweet syrup with minerals and mild herbal and earthy notes mixed with some spice, a tad of licorice, some smoke, and a prevalent stewed agave. A hefty dose of mint with a bit more of it landing on the spearmint side. It reminds me of Arta Anejo. I wish it had more complexity and richness. There is some umami with a bit of oil though.
