Single pass “Refrescadera”

Tall bottle – not the original bottling that was so highly regarded here.
Tough to nail down.
On the nose it’s got this spicy, gently smoked agricole rum vibe. Bruised tropical fruit and dried coconut.
On the palate it’s sort of like a really really strong, floral, Pina colada without the sweetness. Finish is long and vibrating on the tongue.
Good, but I’d love to have tried their first rendition.

A gentle spirit compared to Sergio’s beast of a tobaziche. On the nose toasted caramel, egg white foam, lemon dish soap, acetone and spoiled fruit. Has that familiar lactic umami quality that I get from jabali. Other notes: salted caramel, Honeycomb cereal, walnut ganache and bitter almond. Finishes with a sweet and salty burn, cloves and natural latex. Doesn’t come out with a bang but still rocks!
