Gonna be up front here. I did not really expect to like this tequila. Fancy bottle, celebrity owned. So you may wonder why I bought it. Dak Prescott and I come from the same little town in Louisiana he’s the QB for the football team I have loved since the late 1960s. It was purely an emotional purchase. The one thing that I thought it may have going for it is that is came from the same distillery as Chamucos and I really like that tequila. Tasted out of a Glencarin with a Cowboys logo on the side. Right off the bat I get that malolactic nose. Not to the level of Chamucos but it’s there and of course I like it. A nice swirl brings out the agave. This is earthy and has a nice minerality. I get a bit of fresh baked bread. On the palate sweet agave comes first. I get jalapeño pepper, lowlands earthiness. Mint and citrus. Cinnamon for sure. A touch of alcohol on the finish. Malolactic on the palate is faint but there. For me, that’s a good thing. I’m pleasantly surprised by the quality of this tequila. This is a $60 tequila in a very nice looking bottle (reminds me of Volcan’s tall bottles). I could easily serve this to tequila friends and would expect they would like it
Nose is awesome chamuco funky! Cheesy, fruity, lactic, minerality, pallet is same notes, just thin, taste a but watered down, short finish, otherwise quality sipper
