This is a curiosity to be sure, an agave spirit distilled in Ontario, from Mexican "agave wine". Matured for 5 months in Sauvignon Blanc casks. Just don't call it Tequila! 55%
Producer Description
"This is a one-of-a-kind spirit born from an abandoned distilling project. Rather than letting the exceptional liquid go to waste, Spirit for Us saw its potential. Agave wine was shipped to Ontario, where it was distilled and aged entirely within Canada. Though it cannot legally be called Tequila, this spirit offers the quality and complexity of a premium aged expression, delivered with a unique Canadian provenance."
750 mlProducer Tasting Note
Nose: Aromatic and Fresh. Notes of sage and fresh oak waft in at first, followed by playful hints of ginger ale and lemon-lime soda.
Palate: Vibrant and Balanced. Delivers on the aromatic promise, pushing into a vivid realm of citrus, notably orange oils. It is fresh but not young, offering complexity and character.
Finish: Clean and Warming. An easy sipper that leaves a delicious, lingering hint of ginger, encouraging the next pour.
