I’m going to be the outlier here but I’m not a fan of this. Very sweet and barrel heavy nose with an odd palate. Don’t love it. Almost medicinal

ET knob creek repo Let it sit and open. Color is pale, indicating either exhausted barrels or a short sit in the barrels. Nose is fruity with spice and pepper. Palate is similar, with agave and slight caramel coming thru, with a fizzy feeling on the finish. i think i preferred the nose most. There is something different about this tequila that I'm not able to define. Possibly it's from the rye barrels.

This single barrel has a nice nose with agave, vanilla and caramel. Fruity. Such sweet agave. The taste is just as awesome. Sweet agave, vanilla, caramel, oak.fruits and flowers. Excellent viscosity.

Clear with nice, oily legs. Aroma starts with lots cooked agave, followed by black pepper, anise and citrus. Flavor of cooked agave, black pepper, anise, minerals and citrus. Nice long, warm finish.

Aroma/Taste: This tequila kicks off with a nice blend of cooked agave, vegetal, and herbal notes, like asparagus, oregano, and rosemary, with a touch of limestone minerality and lime. There's also a hint of musty yeast in the background. On the palate, you get more of that sweet agave, some black licorice, and those herbal and vegetal flavors really come through. It’s got a nice, pleasant taste overall. Finish: The finish brings out flavors of anise, mint, and white pepper spice, along with a hint of cola. It does turn a bit bitter right at the end but has a fairly long finish. Overall: Tasted blind, this one is a solid choice. I’d definitely drink it again. I’d love to have a second pour to really settle into its flavors.
