Juan Jimenez Pink Bourbon from Huila with strong buyer backing

Juan Jimenez delivers a striking Pink Bourbon from Huila processed through an anaerobic wash. The cup leans hard into blackberry, nectarine, and hibiscus, pairing deep fruit with a clean, juicy structure. With strong marks across buyer ratings and lot transparency, this lot justifies the attention. Expect a complex profile that avoids the heavy funk of lesser anaerobic experiments.
