Just opened the bottle, so I'm letting it sit for a bit. Nice, oily legs in the Glencairn glass. Aromas of cooked agave, minerals, herbal, citrus and alcohol. I guess I didn't let it sit long enough to mellow the 53% abv. Flavors cooked agave, black pepper, alcohol, citrus, vegetal, minerals and herbal. There's a lot going on with this HP Blanco. The spiciness hangs around for the long finish.
Rated Blind
Unique barrels, layers of flavor, vanilla, spice, caramel, dried fruit. Nice nose, balanced finish
Not the biggest Anejo fan and this one while solid doesn't really move me. Standard barrel notes not very oily, some minerality and fruit.
Agave bomb on this still strength. Bright clean nose and crisp palate with loads of sweet cooked agave. Nose: cooked agave, black pepper, citrus, minerals, vegetal, mint, and anise. Palate: the nose translates over to the palate with loads of cooked agave, black pepper and citrus. Along with minerals, vegetal, mint and anise coming on the back end. A fantastic still strength with a buttery mouth feel. The finish is short. Really no burn at all for the 106 proof. Definitely let this one open up before going in.
Nice bright agave nose. Little bitterness mid palate but finishes out with some heat and pepper. It’s a mild palate but the nose is lovely
