$6 neat, not a 100% Agave juice. Aroma; sweet agave, white pepper, bay leave, lilac and cloves. Flavor: cooked agave, semi sweet, spices, chilly rojo, white pepper, dough, smoke, sugar cane, sweet, pepper, unpleasant alcohol, ripe zucchini pumpkin, vegetal. Finish is bitter with no legs and definitely not a sipper.
