Nose: Deep and intriguing. Aromas of banana peel and dusty earth are layered with sweet maraschino cherry, hints of vanilla, and a savory, \"mezcal-adjacent\" funk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePalate: Rich and incredibly creamy. The sweetness of the black corn takes center stage, reminiscent of corn fritters and gingerbread, followed by light mandarin orange and salted caramel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Long and warming.
