Mexican release, 38% ABV Nose: Fruity agave with cloves and a green banana tease. A pop of jackfruit and a dank cellar note. Flavors: Buttery brown sugar richness. Medium black pepper that builds intensity throughout the tasting. Vanilla and almond cream mid palate. Baked pineapple and spices. A very respectable reposado that doesn’t develop a whole lot more on the finish. I’d like to retaste this brand at 40% ABV.
Un fuerte olor a canela de la bienvenida a este tequila blanco; acompañado por Agave cocido, banana y pimienta. En boca se confirma la canela, con toques de avellana, es mineral y terroso. El retrogusto es persistente y profundo.
Pretty subtle nose, getting some interesting citrus notes. Light pepper and raw agave on my mouth. Pretty smooth, wish this could had more character. Taste is short and light for me. Fair and honest tequila, great for sipping.
Rated blind. Lots of hay, dried grass, cooked agave, and cinnamon. Smells and tastes totally natural. Lots of agave flavor and natural sweetness. Feels great in your mouth. Clean, yet lots of character. Great job.
Mexican release version @ 38% ABV Aromas: This nose isn’t the most forceful that I’ve ever experienced, but it is one of the most jam packed with aromas in recent memory. It starts with roasted agave. It transitions to trace barnyard, full blown citrus and grassy/herbal notes. Alkaline minerals emerge, green banana, cinnamon, mint and vanilla. Flavor: Agave is the star with robust black pepper and a silky mouth feel. A slight letdown from the nosing. Finish: Rich round caramelized agave clings and lingers, playing off green peppercorns, and spices of cinnamon and anise. I would like to try the 40% USA version. I think this tequila would benefit from a more robust 40% ABV profile. IMO.
