Tasting notes: This Aguardente Vínica presents an intense topaz color. The aroma is complex and deep, distinguished by notes of spices and crystallized orange with caramelized nuances. It reaches its full splendor in the mouth, where the alcohol is smooth and soft due to the slow integration of wood notes over many years. The aging process in oak casks has bestowed upon it a noble character and a fascinating flavor.
