By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper and lime open with a sharp, slightly citrus-spiced quality that immediately suggests a smoky direction ahead. Clary sage adds a cool, slightly herbal note, while guaiac wood begins introducing its signature smoky-woody character.
Caramel in the general notes adds an unexpected sweet contrast to the smoke — the sweetness is understated but acts as a counterweight to the guaiac's austerity. The overall mid-section is where the mezcal accord presumably develops, the smoke and sweetness interacting.
The overall character is smoky-woody with spiced citrus accents and a caramel sweetness threading through. It reads somewhat androgynous and unusual — the mezcal inspiration is clear without being literal. Suited to evenings and casual occasions in cooler weather.
