An Ecuadorian agave-sap spirit that can show grassy, plant-derived and gently fruity character, often with a rounded texture. It provides a useful counterpoint to heart-cooked agave distillates and should be presented as a distinct tradition rather than an Ecuadorian version of tequila.
A Dasylirion distillate produced outside the Mexican denomination's defined territory. Potential flavours include grass, herbs, earth, fruit and roasted plant, with smoke and oak conditional on process. The geographical distinction does not create a separate mandatory sensory profile or a presumption of quality.
