Very dark appearance. Slow legs. Nose: Initially pronounced oak presents that quickly gives way to vanilla and cinnamon. Next wave brings dark ripe fruit, candied dried fruit, agave and a yeasty note. Flavor: Oily and sweet. Barrel spices, pepper, round fruit flavors and whiskey oak.
Nose takes a while to open up. Some agave, fruitiness and caramel, with a bit of brininess and citrus. A fleeting aroma of rubber. Flavor is bolder than the nose. Barrel spices, pepper and oily agave. Some floral undercurrents. Pretty much a natural progression from the blanco. An interesting offering from Michoacán.
Very vegetal, herbal nose. Hints of pickling brine. Very green smell. Some agave sweetness, but black pepper and jalapeño dominate; with a whisper of cilantro. Very different taste profile.
This Michoacán distilled blanco is quite flavorful with an astringent feel in the mouth that is different from most Jalisco distilleries. Green agave with some slight sweetness this very clean tasting blanco has a nice finish dominated by agave and some alcohol. If you can appreciate the regional terrior of tequila you owe it to yourself to try this. Bottle is dated Dec 2013.
