NEW Caballito Cerrero Blue Weber (No 'el') 'Distillate' - Freakin Amazing. It has a Mezcal presence, but made just like a tequila is made. no CRT affiliation. This has it all

Aroma : Tons of grass and agave on top of some notes of citrus, ripe fruit, and pepper. Taste : Super vegetal flavor that somehow manages to have more grass and agave than the strong aroma would let on. The sweet and vegetal notes are balanced out with some black pepper spice and a small amount of bitterness. Finish : Long and fruity with a pleasant heat that reminds you of the extra abv. This isn't technically considered "tequila" but an agave distillate. I don't typically spend a lot of time around mezcal, but this has certainly convinced me that I should.

New label 'Distillate' - One of my favorite high-proof Blancos on the planet. Giving me amose of honey, spices, cinnamon, smoke, earth, lemon citrus, mint, light vanilla, celery an almost Mezcal presence. This follows through on taste. A nice cinnamon heat going out.. an absolutely stunning traditional tequila.

Agave, mushroom umami, rosemary, buttered popcorn nose. Entry is a blast of herbs and spices, with rosemary, thyme. and black and white pepper burn spreading around the mouth. Medium length finish, with some anise bitterness, pepper, and a mild pop of mint, very nice. Finish could be longer but that's a minor quibble.
