• Visual: Clear w/ clear medium edge. Really coats glass, great viscosity • Initial Nasal Impact: Prickle and warming • Aroma: Honey, apple, mild lemon, slight lactic, warm strawberry cobbler • Mouthfeel: Coating w/ generous alcohol • Flavor: Cooked agave, honey, cinnamon, apple, limestone, pepper • Finish: Drying and long with tropical fruits (guava) lingering

Bright nose with roast agave carried by the ethanol. On entry ethanol predominates along with some vegetal notes producing some slight bitterness. The finish is long and extended with the tongue and lips totally involved. rated blind tied for #5 with G4 108

Blind: Vinegar, alcohol, tart aroma that come across with a punch. Kinda plastic and green flavors. Medium finish with (too) heavy tears. Knocked for price as well. This profile wasn’t my cup of tea. Will need to revisit.

This has a unique and interesting aroma and flavor profile, and is a great example of what can be achieved with slow-and-low production techniques. Cooked agave, olive, brine, minerals, butter, and a hint of lactic - all of these are favorites of mine. I think it’s worth the price to get something made like this.

Nose: lactic / grass / earth / citrus / vegetal/ hay / sage / dough Taste: sweet agave cooked / pepper/ vanilla/ vegetal / apple / melon / lime / orange peel/ anise / spearmint/ sage / hint of baking spice / lactic / cream soda Finish: medium viscosity mouthfeel / slight oily feel in a good way - not sticky or gooey / lingering agave cooked, vanilla, anise, and pepper hold up pretty well as a band playing slightly different music to the same time signature This high proof blanco is 48%abv and does an ok job trading higher proof for more flavor. The nose is weak and seems to have aromas that don’t carry over well, but the sweet flavors and contrasting peppery notes are somewhat bold and engaging. The overall taste is good.

Very unique nose. Agave is at the front with a slight malolactic note. It is floral and citrusy. A touch of olive and brine. I love the taste. Very forward cooked sweet agave. Some alcohol and black pepper follow. The taste pulls out minerals, butter and mint. Nice creamy mouthfeel. Finish is sweet with a touch of alcohol burn. I like this one and look forward to the next pour

I know a lot of connoisseur have rated this high. Well made additive free high proof blanco, not my flavor profile, not bad but not great. So many other HP Blanco’s out there I would sip first. A little green and vegetal, light pepper and mineral notes.
