Barrel and clove and slight caramel aroma. Flavor is pretty spot on with the aroma but with some added spices. The finish is the most enjoyable for me, it’s nice on the exhale and although it’s not my favorite sipper, it sure disappeared quickly.
The Blanco and Reposado odd aroma is mostly muted in this Añejo. A bit of stone fruit and some barrel spice and zero agave on the nose. In the mouth it isn't totally offensive and not nearly as sweet as expected, quite whiskey barrel forward. Still some aspartame sweetness on the finish like the Reposado and dryness from the barrel. Again no agave. I applaud the education efforts with regard to music the brand is tied to, but actually drinking this is more of a wah-wah sad note moment than any type of orchestral effort. thanks tequila.diva for the samples
This product claims no added yeast for fermentation and an extended natural fermentation. This has odd notes on the aroma, almost a clove presence. It reminds me of the Riazul aged products. The barrels used are completely covering the agave that was readily discernable in the Blanco. Has an aspartame finish. The Añejo is even darker, unnaturally so. The brand owner seems to like it a lot, gave it 95 and 2 96. Pretty bottle.
Musica Anejo revisiting as I normally do with a new brand when I'm able to. there is a slight funky flavor on the palate that I didn't get the first time. original review: Color very dark, looks like an XA, almost red! Nose: pleasant= fruit, orange, barrel spice, cherry, whiskey, Palate: sweet with mild oak, whiskey Finish: dry Notes: 1. I rated average value because I don't know cost. 2. I am mostly a blanco drinker. when I drink aged expressions, I prefer exhausted barrels that don't overtake the agave. this particular expression is much sweeter than I prefer, and there isn't much agave present. it's not my profile, but I think this will be approachable for newbies coming from the whiskey world
tried neck pour yesterday. got a little agave and cracked pepper with some alcohol and sulfur with a short, dry finish. revisited because i wasn't liking the neck pour, and good thing i revisited and let it sit about 20 mins because it is better today. getting some fruit, a little anise and pepper. Finish is short, dry and fizzy note: rating with an "average value" because I don't know cost UPDATE: Ajusted down slightly for price 56.99
Musica Repo revisited as I normally do with a new brand if I'm able to. I'm getting a coconut flavor profile with some bitterness that I didn't get the first time. original review: Nose barrel spice, cinamon, caramel Palate sweet, caramel, slight whiskey, a tiny bitterness on the finish, but it dissipates fairly quickly i originally rated value = avg because I didn't know the price. I downgraded slightly for price
Thanks Christine (Tequila.diva) Tastes solid, short finish holds this back.
Aroma is sweetish with something else, reminds me of black licorice rock candy. Flavor is better than the aroma with more of the licorice and anise notes. The finish is quick and enjoyable. This one is easy to drink.
Not for me. Very much smells like whiskey, which I don’t mind, and is actually what made me select that I would recommend… to a whiskey drinker. I looked very hard for agave but couldn’t find it. Smells good generally, tastes like whiskey without the kick. Ok it’s growing on me a little as the glass lowers but I only have so many sippers in me each night and I probably wont come back to this one. Thank you Tequila Diva for the sample.
