TASTING NOTES The H&H Seco Especial (Finest, Dry) allies a nutty, smoky bouquet to a dry, energetic and expansive palette etched with flavors of roasted almond, mandarin orange and dried honey. Excellent as an aperitif, but with many additional possibilities at the table and on the bar. PAIRING RECOMMENDATIONS At the table: with oysters (raw or cooked), all manner of tartare, nuts and aged goat cheese (e. g. , Garrotxa; Ticklemore). On the bar, it plays well with a wide variety of different spirits, lending elegance to rum, tequila, mezcal and whiskeys of all types.
