Insecto Tuxca Lineño + Ixteco Amarillo
Insecto Tuxca Lineño + Ixteco Amarillo is an ensamble of Tuxca agave. The aroma presents dried strawberries, herbal tea, and lemongrass with sweet hay notes. The palate echoes these elements while introducing cidery and whey-like characteristics typical of raicilla history. Smoke softens the sharper flavors, adding breadth without intense heat. One source describes it as subtle and enjoyable, while another criticizes the profile as cheap or perfumey. The spirit balances fruitiness with earthy smoke, offering a distinct character that appeals to those familiar with northern agave styles.
