Each bottle is adorned with Mayan iconography, bearing witness to the deep history and tradition of this civilization.

FINISH : The finish is long and smooth, marked by reminiscences of dark chocolate and exotic fruits, dissipating into a subtle sweetness of hazelnut and vanilla. A rich sensory experience that leaves a lasting and pleasant impression.
