The nose is dense. It’s full of cooked agave, citrus, mint, and black pepper. There’s a herbal and vegetal note with hints of rosemary. There’s some earthy minerality and brine. The citrus notes are lemon, orange, and grapefruit but there’s also a lactic quality with hints of Parmesan and Brie that come and go. - The mouthfeel is dense and viscous. The cooked agave is upfront while the finish has a nice alcohol tingle with hints of peppers thanks to the 42% ABV - 84 proof. I taste some sweetness from the cooked agave, the mint appears on the palate but there are also some savory notes too. There’s an herbal quality but that tingle is ever present. It’s not overwhelming but rather pleasant. - I find the nose to be more complex than the taste but the flavors aren’t lacking. It has an excellent finish but it does come with a higher price tag.

Nose: still get some of the funk, more cooked agave comes through, floral, light butterscotch, and citrus Flavor: cooked agave, fruit, caramel, orange peel, and light brininess, with a creamy mouth feel Finish: medium to long that has some sweetness then moves to white pepper spice.

Tasted at MBTC 2023 The Final Event. Overpriced for the market in my opinion.

Nicely produced, citrus, pepper, a little funk. Enjoyable Blanco with a nice message, but still a little pricey

tried at LATF industry party 2023 but cigar bar aromas skewed my tasting so... tried again at Monterey tequila fest 2023, and I really enjoyed both the blanco and repo. I didn't get the malalactic notes typically present with 1599 expressions. deducted a couple points for price but this is a really really good tequila
