Preiss Imports BM 16160. Sour apple candies and pears. Sweet and soft nose. Light touch of anise, and subtle kick of white pepper. This is a lover, not a fighter. But nice complexity through the lingering finish.
L-2012 RR 12970
Found a bottle at great price. Aroma: herbal, sea salt, dill weed, grass, cooked agave, peppercorn, olive, white pepper, citrus. Palate; caramel, tropical fruit, aloe, and cooked agave with taste of little use of pepper and dried chilles. Finish is very ripe and full of agave and minerals. Medium body and long lasting agave caramel and white pepper. Short legs on glass and semi oily in mouth.
Fielding & Jones tear drop, RK 8370. Beautiful golden color. Lots of fresh agave on the nose and some floral notes, followed by hints of caramel. Good viscosity, leaving tears on the Riedel. Butterscotch and light oak notes, cleanly transitions to agave before finishing with light pepper kick. Easy heat, but a medium to long finish with complexity that hangs onto the top of your mouth. Really enjoyable old school bottle.
What do Casamigos, Avión, and Clase Azul tequilas all have in common? All are made in the same distillery, located in a town called Jesús María in the Los Altos region of Jalisco, Mexico.

Last week I attended a dinner at Tres Agaves in San Francisco with Gabriel and Guillermo Gonzalez of Chinaco Tequila. Tres Agaves is hosting monthly distillers' dinners with a different tequila brand each time.
Oak, butterscotch, vanilla, alcohol, agave and caramel. Sweet start to finish. Decent sipper, with hints of black pepper at the end
