Has a classic Los Altos aroma. Minerals, slight vanilla, dried grass/hay, agave. Flavor has cinnamon, and cooked agave. Feels thick in the mouth with a full body. There is sweetness in the finish.
Bottle: 1 ra Edicion Limitada, 6000 Botellas, 3118, L 230815DFB002 Appearance: Clear Nose: Cooked and raw agave, flowers, orange blossom, lavender, citrus, lemon, lime, vanilla, minerality, herbal, mint, cinnamon, brine/salinity, white pepper, and olive…floral and citrusy Palate: Cooked and raw agave, vanilla, citrus, blood orange, grass, cinnamon, barrel spice, flowers, lavender, minerality, brine/salinity, olive, black pepper, alcohol, and peppermint…the barrel influence was more apparent Finish: Brine/salinity, olive, alcohol, and grass…thin mouthfeel and short to medium length Overall: After accidentally deleting my first review, I had the pleasure of digging up my old notes and tasting this again for a second full review. I didn’t find any of the off-putting petrol or rubber notes that others experienced, but I was left wanting for more intensity throughout. Although I enjoyed the range of aromas and flavors, both the nose and palate felt muted and neutered. Good pour, but not great.
L 160223DFB001. Aroma: salty raw agave, black olives, feels oily, slightly minty & herbaceous. Palate: salty raw agave, black olives, thick mouthfeel, 30 minutes in the glass I feel a tad of sweetness from the agave. Slightly less salty than the Hacienda Viejo blanco from the same distillery, almost exactly the same. Finish is medium to medium long, salty raw agave notes persist.
A little muted on the nose, but a solid sipper with a smooth cooked agave flavor profile. Finish was just ok, as I got the typical cooked agave along with black pepper and an earthiness funk at the end. Fine, but bought for $45 so was hoping for more in the value score.
Familiar Arandas nose. Nice flavor and mouthfeel. Finish has that non-copper funk which makes it less pleasant. It’s okay.
As usual, I don’t love the tequilas with a strong cooked agave flavor. Sorry.
Light sweet agave, vanilla nose/flavor with a slight rubber/petrol aroma and bitter finish. Natural and soft, except for the finish.
