Excellent, unique, refined
Nose: agave raw / vegetal / olive / pepper/ lime / lemongrass / hint of floral / salt Taste: sweet agave cooked / anise bomb! / vanilla/ banana/ cinnamon/ melon/ lime / spearmint/ baking spice Finish: watery wet low viscosity mouthfeel with a cool water effect / lingering sweet agave and anise overwhelm the spicier cinnamon and pepper notes / spearmint final taste to the last swallow This blanco has a slightly weak nose but the flavors really pop out. So much agave and anise working hard to make this a sweet and refreshing blanco that’ll be good for sipping or cocktails. Very nice.
Nose: agave sweet cooked / vanilla/ butterscotch/ caramel/ pear / hint of melon / orange-tangerine/ tea / floral / nutmeg/ molasses Taste: agave sweet cooked / vanilla and caramel equally/ butterscotch/ pear / tangerine/ hint of grapefruit/ spearmint/ tea / nutmeg/ chocolate/ molasses/ Finish: a very light viscous mouthfeel creates a very pleasant platform for the rich agave, caramel, and vanilla flavors to launch from. The final swallow has lingering sweetness and vanilla. This anejo is nicely weet and offers rich flavors throughout the whole taste. The clean finish with lingering sweet notes rounds out this enjoyable anejo.
I will say up front, I like a little cheesy funk to my tequila. I don’t have to have it but when done right, I find it a pleasure. This one has a little blue cheese on the nose but not overpowering. It also has a good deal of cooked agave. It is fruity and has good barrel notes of oak, vanilla and caramel. Nice and sweet on the tongue without much malolactic flavor. I get vanilla and oak. This is nice a fruity with a touch of cinnamon to the finish. I definitely like this one.
fruit on the nose. Unique nose. Palate isn’t bad. I like the nose better than the palate but overall it’s nice. I am enjoying the aged offerings
Nose: sweet agave / vanilla/ pepper / fruity / orange peel / bell pepper/ basil/ orange blossom/ butterscotch Taste: agave sweet/ vanilla/ caramel/ pepper / earth / butter / melon / cherry / orange / anise / spearmint / nutmeg / honey Finish: clean bright smooth / water feel - not oily or viscous/ most of the tastes diminish quickly except the sweetness and a fresh clean taste A nice subtle repo except for the huge sweetness. The other flavors don’t shine through very much, but I like how the sweetness doesn’t overwhelm everything. There is some balance…just some.
