- Excerpt: This expression is a meeting place of fire, fruit and earth. Tropical mango, papaya and pineapple blend with peach, habanero pepper, chive and honeysuckle. Beach bonfire-smoke swirls around this mixture, coaxing it into the tingly hot finish.

Intro:
Distilled by Romulo Sanchez Parada, this cuishe was distilled after his return to MX in 2003. Let's dive in.
-
Nose:
Not a wild blend of things going on here - grassy, ashy, bell pepper. No ethanol.
-
Taste:
Pepper, wheatgrass, sweet cream. Grows ashy, acrid, smoky. Really powerful on the palate.
-
Finish:
Long, powerful, acrid. Lots of burning wood, faint plastic, ashy goodness. The fruits and sweetness are toned down here completely, giving way to a pepper bomb of smoke.
-
Overall:
This isn't bad, but it's not my favorite. Somedays I enjoy a smoke bomb, but I have to be in the mood for it. I'd prefer a bit more complexity and blending on this one to help give that ashiness some direction.
