"This is the dark rum end of the spectrum among the three. Conjure up dark and stormy. Rich, unctuous, honey sweetness, low viscosity, an incredibly robust sensation that holds up well on the rocks, and in cocktails. I've rarely found wood aged agave spirits that have excited me as much as the Doña Tules line" Max Garrone/mezcalistas.com
