Similar profile as the base blanco. Cooked agave, citrus, funk, light astringent, minerality with new flavor profiles arriving from the 5 month aging process in ex-Jack Daniel’s barrels. Caramel, vanilla, I even got some nuttiness which I was not expecting. For the price, this repo provides a tremendous value proposition.

The smell had a bit of lactic that was the unpleasant taste and smell. The taste was also just funky in a bad way. Bad bottle ?

Nose: agave raw / earth / vegetal / grass / lime / lavender Taste: sweet agave cooked / cinnamon/ anise / cinnamon/ spearmint/ apple / hint of melon / orange peel / lime / nutmeg / cream soda Finish: watery wet low viscosity mouthfeel / lingering sweet agave, anise, cinnamon, and minty spearmint freshness. Slight alcohol kick at the end but not bad This blanco is a real sweet surprise. I’d heard good things and had high hopes….but when I smelled it, I was disappointed. The nose isn’t bad, but it’s just not there. I had a hard time getting any aromas….but ironically, when a tequila has a low rating nose for me, the taste is better. I definitely need to blind this one for further research. But the first pour for me was good. Technically it is a high proof.

This is a tasty inexpensive blanco. I would definitely recommend this as a mixer and it is an okay sipper. Nose is light but has gave, earth and citrus. It is on the vegetal side with minerals. On the tongue I get cooked agave, earth, pepper and vegetal notes just like on the nose. Has a sweet finish with a touch of alcohol. For the price, grab this. If nothing else it make for a very good mixer.
