Humid roasted agave off the nose, very unique and inviting, makes me think of Mexico. Some elevated sweetness that is a bit much for my taste but this is an excellent Tequila (agave spirit, whatever).
This is exceptional, roasted agave is present from start to finish with absolute clarity. Mid palette threw me for a loop as it started to ramp up sweetness but then it gently faded at the perfect moment m. One of the best reposados out there for sure.

B - 111 46% ABV Chato (angustifolia) Unfortunately other bottle info stamped on inside of back label is not legible. Initial nasal impact has a nice prickle from the 46% ABV. Aroma is sweet cooked agave, mineral, jackfruit, earth, wildflower honey, vanilla bean and olive brine. Oily mouthfeel with generous heat. Fresh fennel bulb, cinnamon sweetness, wildflower honey, caramelized cooked agave make up a nicely complex flavor. The long finish carries on highlighting fennel, cinnamon and a bit of a lactic note. Incredible blanco from Cabillito Cerrero. Love how they stand up to the CRT by carrying the Destilado de Agave designation so they don't have to be pigeon holed into a category based on CRT regulations. When you find them, buy them. Pure genius, brilliantly done.
