Tasting Notes

- Nose: No separate verified aroma breakdown is provided.
- Palate / overall style: Botanical-led and spicy, described by the retailer as not sweet and suited to cocktails.

Distilled in the Heights of La Paz
Japanese importer Kokubu identifies La Paz as the distillation location and names locally sourced palo santo, eucalyptus, coriander and anise among the botanicals. Felicity also describes coca leaves within a selection of more than twenty ingredients, a thirty-day resting period after distillation, and dilution with natural water from the Cordillera Real mountains.

Since we ship alcoholic beverages, all sales are generally final. We don't accept returns or exchanges just for a change of mind.But if things go wrong—like your bottle breaks in transit or we accidentally send you the wrong one—we've absolutely got your back! Here is how we handle it:
The 7-Day Window
If your item is damaged or incorrect, please reach out to us within 7 days of signing for your package. After 7 days, we unfortunately won't be able to process a return or exchange.
Item Condition
If we sent you the wrong item by mistake, please make sure it stays unopened and in its original condition. (If your item arrived broken, just safely take some clear photos for us instead!)
Refused or Undeliverable Packages
Any packages that are refused by the customer upon delivery, or returned to sender due to an incorrect/incomplete address provided by the customer, are subject to a return shipping and restocking fee. This fee will be deducted from your refund.
In addition, original shipping costs are strictly non-refundable for refused packages. If a package is abandoned or destroyed by the carrier due to a customer's refusal to pay local customs duties, no refund will be issued.
