Brave Bull Shooter
A fiery test of courage, the Brave Bull Shooter combines the earthy kick of tequila with a generous dose of Tabasco sauce. Not for the faint of heart, this shot delivers an intense spicy sensation that wakes up the palate instantly.
What it tastes like
The aroma is dominated by sharp, vinegary fermented peppers followed by faint earthy agave notes. On the palate, aggressive spice and acid overwhelm the spirit, providing a thin but stinging mouthfeel. The finish is long, dry, and characterized by a persistent heat at the back of the throat.
