This is unique and polarizing. I like it. Smoke and slight bitterness on the aroma. Good flavor. The smoke is mellow on the finish.
Nose: This nose is right down my lane. Agave! Plum, fruits, sweet banana, earth, and a hint of smoke. (Thank you!) Palate: All I could hope is the palate tasted like the aromas. This did not disappoint. Explosion of agave, orange, black pepper with a nice amount of smoke. This is by far one of the best blancos I’ve had in 2024! Finish: Cheeks get some heat with a long finish of pepper and agave.
10/2024 tasted blind in the TMM high-proof blinds rated 82 pts SS-05 I let this sit 30+min nose = very familiar! strong nose, funky, fruit/cantelope? what is it?! palate = sweet and funky! so familiar! cantelope and cheese finish = delayed. at first there's nothing. then the pepper kicks in. then anise, and it lingers awhile
High-proof tequilas, once only for hardcore drinkers, are now being released at a steady pace. Why?
