It’s difficult to put into words how truly awful this crap is. Smells like soap and chemicals, tastes worse. Just alcohol burn. To say there’s hints of lavender is doing a disservice to lavender but there’s a little of that. There is no legitimate reason to drink or purchase this.
we've had this bottle for some time. I'm trying to clear my shelves for some better stuff, so i decided to revisit and rate it.. this isn't horrible. I've had many worse. as far as current cuervo products go, this is probably one of the best. the nose is very subtle. hardly get anything from it. palate = caramel, vanilla, oak and some alcohol, not much agave. finish is hot with a mild aftertaste, but not horribly offputting.
Maybe slightly better than some of their other offerings but generally bland without any stand out flavors.
There are string notes of caramel, vanilla and honey in this. Alcohol forward and very sweet. There is not much agave that you can taste.
Is it the worst tequila I’ve tried? No, but it’s not good either. Weird medicinal aroma and taste. Black pepper and alcohol.
Yikes. Not much needs to be said here. Pretty much everyone knows to avoid this. Strong alcohol aroma and flavor. Very artificial taste and color. Don’t do it.
