Alec Bradley keeps stacking high ratings, so when they drop something new, it’s worth paying attention. Their latest, the V2L Black, comes wrapped in a toothy Nicaraguan leaf over a Honduran binder with plenty of attitude. Inside, a mix of 2 visos and 2 ligeros from four farms brings a punchy blend of earth, spice, oak, and a peppery finish. It’s a medium‑to‑full ride built to kick your day into gear.
