Not a lot of agave going on here but a really great tequila nonetheless!
Kind of the same as the Blanco, it starts good but then fizzles quick and ends rather nasty. I gotta say the smell is amazing, if nothing else this scores big points for that!
Nice and sweet off the hop, agave flavour disappears rather quickly and finish is a tad unpleasant. It’s ok.
NOM 1438. This bottle was a couple years old in my library, so I think it probably mellowed out a little. I also rated it against the TasteTequila preferred scale which is a bit more generous than the scale I would have rated this against previously. It has some light caramel notes on the nose, following through on the palate. There's some agave pepper 'bite' to it, which is nice. This all carries into the finish which is a bit more than pleasant. However, there's more interesting options out there, even at this price point. So, I'm not sure I would ever buy this again if Muchote, Quita Penas, or Tapatio were available, but I wouldn't turn this away if it were offered.
