PREPARATION
Agwa from Bolivia is made from dried and macerated coca leaves, which are steam distilled to produce an alcoholic extract with the characteristics of the original plant. The juice-rich coca leaves are harvested by hand at 2000 m above sea level in the Andes, Bolivia. 100% of the primary alkaloid is removed. Cocaine-free coca leaves are macerated and distilled to produce alcohol, natural flavor and color. The distillate is blended with 36 botanicals, including: Chinese green tea, African mint, Amazonian guarana, Argentine black tea, ginseng, lavender and cucumber. The flavors are married before being approved by the master mixer and mixed with 5 parts distilled vodka, sugar, water and natural coloring.
TASTING
View: Almost fluorescent green light color.
Nose: Light nuance of musk aroma with elements of dried fruits.
Mouth: The flavor is bittersweet, originally sharp on the tongue, but quickly settling into spicy notes that linger. Overall, it is a mild extract with a bitter touch. The bitterness and sensation of raw pepper are the reasons why the coca leaf has always been associated with layers of dominant flavors.
