Not bad, not good, tastes like Cristalino. Has an acetone finish that I don’t love but this is very shootable if chilled.
No agave aroma or flavor, just chemical/process/industrial aromas/flavors.
$86 in Calgary
I like what Espolòn provides for the value. This has a pretty good aroma, and I like the citrus in the aroma and taste. I also get a peppery finish with a clean agave and alcohol taste. I also think this has a nice smokiness to the taste too.
Get subtle bitter oak on finish.
cristalino anejo. chemical taste. not for me
Weak finish, slightly sweet. Some herbal notes.
Drank after dinner. Dinner was pulled pork sandwich and salt and vinegar chips. The drink started strong and meh. On about sip 3-5 it started to open and bring some good taste. Generally not a fan of Cristalinos as they are more expensive then their Anjeo twins with less flavor but this is good. Dropped a ice block in about 15 sips in and it became very enjoyable.
Aroma of alcohol, wet cement and metalic. Where is the agave? Flavor of black pepper, brine/salt and herbal. Medium finish.
