COCALERO PICANTE is an exotic botanical spirit crafted to celebrate the flavors of South America and the Aji Panca and Locoto peppers in particular. Like the mystical coca leaf, these peppers have been used in Andean religious and spiritual ceremonies since the time of the Incas. Bright red while on the vine, these peppers are naturally blackened by the Andean sun, concentrating their rich, unique flavors.
Aji Panca Pepper, Locoto Pepper, Orange Peel, Guarana, Green Tea and Ginseng are just a selection of the natural ingredients that make up this truly unique spirit.
Aroma: Crisp with a hint of sweetness, wrapped around notes of juniper, spearmint and a suggestion of spice.
Taste: Opening with a bright flash of spicy pepper quickly chased by a bevvy of citrus and herbal tones, including mint, pine, clove, anise and the grassy freshness of capsicum.
Finish: Refreshing with a lingering hint of fresh citrus and herbaceous pine, perfectly balanced by a touch of bitterness.
