Intro:
Distilled on copper, Tomas Garcia Cruz produced this Madrecuixe for NETA in Miahuatlan through two runs of distillation after fermentation in cypress wood tanks.
-
Nose:
Solid, well rounded nose. Cream cheese icing, faint cedar and hickory smoke, light citrus and a hint of papaya.
-
Taste:
A faint pinprick of heat, before a wild bouquet unwraps. Lavender, honey, faint lemon zest leads while soft pepper, some orange peel, nutmeg and a dash of confectioners sugar follow up. Faintly smoky, a touch of light umami keep things interesting. Lovely minerality, with a hint of celery on the back palate.
-
Finish:
Long finish, centers more around a bit of soil, minerality and a mild citrus.
-
Overall:
Lovely and complex, this batch has so much going on. My first brush with Tomas and it won’t be my last.
