Lote No. 18 Approx 30 Bx Initial nasal impact is drying. The aroma keeps getting more interesting - cooked agave, mineral, musty olive, butter and floral (lily perhaps). Pleasant oily mouthfeel. Flavor of roasted agave, mint, vegetal with and olive. Nice pepper balanced throughout. There is some nut (almond?) and cinnamon present as the flavor develops. The finish is medium and warming. It is amazing to find a tequila at such a high brix level (ArteNOM 1079 is also at 30). A really nice blanco that I could sip every day. Unfortunately it is no longer made.
Chlorine smell (defect), nothing related to the flavor Flavor wise is good not great
Exceptional blanco and well worth the price. Smooth agave on the nose, followed by floral and citrus fades. Cooked agave followed quickly by carmely vanillaish flavors falling into sweets.
A viscous tequila that is vegetal in nature, indicative of the harvest. The initial aroma, to me, smelled like croutons, which i have to think ties back to the leavenings in the fermentation process. The citrus lingers on the palate. Very fruit forward and aromatic. Flavors of black pepper and agave throughout. It has a sweet, olive brine finish that lasts a long time.
Smooth sweet burnt agave with pepper finish ... Yes, also a tiny bit of a gluey flavor but it's ok.
