A funky malolactic nose, unlike any of the other samples. There is some cooked agave behind the nasal funk along with hints of citrus and minerals. In the mouth there is a nice herbal element and some nice viscosity giving great mouthfeel. Finish lingers and as it fades makes me want more to extend the experience. Tasted blind and rated #2 of the HP samples
tmm hp blinds tasting Oct 2024 let this open for 30 mins! at first i didn't care for the nose = funk, pepper, sulfur, alcohol, malolactic. as it opened, it got better, and the 2nd time I tried it, I got some sweet agave and anise on the palate.
Blind: Earthy, vegetal, mineral with a bitter note and a pretty long finish. Not my favorite aroma but flavor is pretty good and price is nice.
Nose is earthy and vegetal. I get green pepper and jalapeño. Orange rind and honey. On the palate it is very nice with cooked agave and honey. I get a little pepper and some mint. The ABV works really well with this tequila. This has a nice finish and I would recommend and drink this again.
High-proof tequilas, once only for hardcore drinkers, are now being released at a steady pace. Why?
