Nose: Cooked agave comes through clearly, with fresh vegetal notes and a solid hit of black pepper. The alcohol is noticeable, but it feels natural - like part of the structure rather than a flaw. Palate & Mouthfeel: Medium thin mouthfeel with just enough texture to stay interesting. Agave and black pepper show up right away, followed by a buttery salinity that adds some roundness. Herbal and mineral undertones bring a nice layer of complexity without overcomplicating things. Finish: Clean and spicy, with agave lingering on a warm, satisfying finish. Final Thoughts: Bright, punchy, and unapologetically agave driven. There’s a raw energy to this pour that works beautifully. It’s spicy, savory, and full of character. For the price, it punches well above its weight.
Lot 1 Blue Label - tasted at an event and was really impressed! The mouthfeel and natural agave sweetness is amazing.
Nose: Cinnamon, Oak, Cherry, Almond, Vanilla, Raisin, Agave Mouthfeel: light-bodied Palate: Carmel, Citrus, Clove, Nutmeg Finish: Vanilla, Cinnamon, Clove, Oak I received this sample from a friend who recommended it. I'm picking up a lot of baking spices, nutty, and sweet aromas. I'm drinking this in the fall, seeing leaves on the ground and seeing smoke coming out of chimneys on a chilly day and to be honest, it feels that that's how this gem is intended to be enjoyed.
very enjoyable, easy sipper
Love this expression from GD delicious, sweet caramel and cooked agave, nots of light vanilla and spice. But the agave shines in this aged tequila.

Nose: Oak and cooked agave are the first to show, with a touch of anise and a noticeable but clean alcohol presence. There’s a soft undercurrent of butterscotch and a flash of orange zest that keeps it bright and inviting. Palate & Mouthfeel: A rounded mouthfeel carries a well-structured blend of oak and agave. Black pepper adds edge, while caramel and anise round things out with a bit of sweetness and spice. A floral, slightly green note - think blossoms and stems - adds nuance without overcomplicating the profile. Finish: Gentle warmth lingers with spice and a return of that sweet, cooked agave. Final Thoughts: The layers here are impressive for the price point. It’s well made, balanced, and very tasty. It’s easy to enjoy but interesting enough to keep you coming back.
