Dustin is correct! The aroma is very very good, but the taste and the finish are just so-so. It is a let down as it goes into your mouth and throat.
I prefer the reposado in this line as the blanco is 3X distilled which I think mutes the aroma and taste a bit. Agave and mint on the nose and caramelized agave in the mouth. Nice tingly finish. This review is based on the 100 ml double packs at Duty Free stores in MX that consist of one reposado and one blanco.
Not a cookie cutter reposado, this tequila has a nice strong punch to it of alcohol, barrel spice, and agave in the mouth with a medium length finish that ends in some tongue buzz.

Artificial tasting, not my favorite profile
