Don’t call me crazy but the nose is Dr Pepper. Cherries?The palate and finish are subtle. I don’t love it.
Nose: agave/ lactic funky / pepper / vegetal / earth / hint of lime / lemongrass / sage / mineral Taste: agave sweet / cinnamon/ banana/ pepper / vegetal / apple/ melon / hint of orange peel / tea / mint / alcohol Finish: slightly bitter and has lactic funkiness that lingers, but otherwise a nice clean crisp mouthfeel This blanco fuerte is 43.5% abv but has a lot of boldness in flavor, as though it was high proof. The flavors are good and if the bitter and lactic funkiness were removed I’d be much happier.
The aroma introduces light ethyl, orange citrus, cooked agave, light vanilla, and a hint of bitter green apple. On the palate, you gather notes of cooked agave with a raisin essence, complemented by lemon, lime, and orange citrus. Light minerality, plum, cooked sweet potato, light caramel, and lightly salted butter add depth. Bitter cider, faint nuttiness, mint, green apple, and pineapple round out the flavor profile. The finish features fading cooked agave, grassiness, and a lasting lemon citrus that clings pleasantly to the palate.
Nose has a bit of alcohol that can tingle the nostrils. Agave and mint. Herbal with minerals and black pepper. Taste is pepper forward. Minerals and alcohol. Sometimes high ABV enhances great tastes. In this case it is slightly overpowering.
