Nose: A full slap of fruity, spicy sweet agave. Green apples, lemon drops, white & green peppercorns. Cinnamon, mint and candied rosemary. Minerals and freshly clipped grass. Tinged with a slightly sour cider scent, and a playful tease of juicy fruit gum. Silky, sophisticated aromas. Flavors: Creamy, mouth filling sweet agave steals the show - simultaneously flirting with a punch of pepper and enticing salinity. A touch of almond paste marries with the fruit and spice. No ethanol ambush in store for you. Another masterfully made tequila from Felipe and Volans.

Barrel notes through on nose, no agave. Little bitterness on finish. Some pepper.

This is as close to perfect as you’re going to find….herbal, vegetal, touch of sweetness, agave never fades. The best part is the finish, this agave nectar sweetness comes out of nowhere and sticks around in the back of my tongue. This is a true sipper and I don’t recommend using this for mixing or adding ice, it’s delicate and can confidently stand on its own. Extremely well done!

Nose: Mandarin oranges and lemon peel. Jammy ripe black raspberries and warm, mellow barrel spices. Leather, nutmeg, powdered ginger, hints of star anise and finely ground pink peppercorn. Creamy almond custard, a pinch of toasted coconut. A tropical feel to the aromas. Loads of agave shines through. Flavor: While the aromas are subtle, subdued and sophisticated; the first sips, by contrast, take you by surprise. Explosive spice, pepper and sassiness: starting with a crescendo of feisty ground Szechwan peppercorns, fiery cinnamon and anise; quickly mellowing into a marriage with the buttery rich agave. Next, sweet barrel spices and mouth filling fruit. Salted butterscotch. Silky. Agave panna cotta with mouth watering sweetness and salinity. Delicate oak patina, with a hint of cedar shavings. Deference shown to the agave with finesse and restraint employed in the barreling. Very elegant. The rating reflects my personal perceived value.
