The process starts with a blanco tequila distilled from 100% Blue Weber Agave, which is then infused with cumin seeds sourced specifically from India. Because cumin produces different particulate sizes than other spices, the brand developed a unique filtration process tailored to this expression — a detail that distinguishes it even from Spice Note's own cinnamon variant. The result is a pale gold liquid that retains the savory depth of whole roasted cumin while preserving the clean character of the underlying agave spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rounded, nutty aromatics greet the nose first, followed by toasted cumin seed and a subtle earthy sweetness.
