Tasting Notes:
It could be compared to an amaro, with sweet, herbal, citrusy and slightly bitter notes all at once due to the mix of foraged herbs and citrus peels used. More specifically, you might detect anise, lemon verbena, chamomile and honey. Siete Rayas is an exceptional addition to carajillos in particular.
