Aromas of damp earth, very damp earth, combined with a bit of basil, agave, and minerality, though not that intense overall. The taste is somewhat muted at first but then develops into a flavorful blend of agave, garden herbs, and more of that damp earthiness from the aroma. A bit of citrus on the finish, dry with a decent amount of heat and black pepper that borders on bitter, with some herbal sage notes as well.

Musty agave nose that follows through on the palate. Nice finish with a lingering pepper. Not bad

Nose: Agave, Carmel, Oak, Raisin, Fig, Butter, Vanilla Mouthfeel: light to medium-bodied Palate: Cinnamon, Raisin, Dates, Oak, baking Spice, Clove, Alcohol Finish: FIG, Carmel, Dates, Oak/Barrell, Possibly a slight brine as well. This wasn't bad. I got a lot of sweet dried fruit throughout my tasting of this; Fig, Raisin and Dates all popped into mind when enjoying this. Fig especially came through on the finish. The finish felt on the short end for my liking. I would've like to pick up a bit more agave than I did as well.

I really like the nose. Agave, vanilla, caramel, cinnamon. Pulling out oak and maybe some notes from the wine barrels. Overall, this is a good nose to me. On the palate, it is sweet first and foremost. Then you get a barrel influence with oak, vanilla, caramel. I can taste the influence of the wine barrels although I don’t know enough about wine to say what it is that is peaking through. The finish could be better. It is thin and has a bit of alcohol that lingers. I do recommend this one as a nice value repo.
