A well-balanced tequila with cooked agave, oak and hints of citrus and vanilla.
Agave Pepper Oil Cashew
Wonderful aromas of baked agave, vanilla and oak. Pleasant flavor profile that combines honey with the agave, oak and vanilla. A somewhat dry and modest finish.
Rated blind in Riedel Overture. GLASS: Crystal clear. Bubbles form on the pour and cling to the edge like a string of small pearls. After coating the glass, flat wide tears and legs form right away, afterward more defined tears and legs present as the coating sheets away. Quite a few pearls remain on the glass. AROMA: Fresh and peppery, green agave presents herbal and vegetal accents with green apple and citrus notes. ENTRY: Wet and just slightly oily with a touch of sweetness. FLAVOR: Crisp and clean. Moderate agave presents white pepper and fruit accents in equal proportion. The fruit aspect is in the form of green apple and light citrus. A touch of sweetness and herbaceousness round out the profile. FINISH: The finish is of moderate length with the same flavors continuing, and ends in a bit of dryness that invites you to sip again. CONCLUSION: Uncomplicated and well crafted. VALUE: $50 for a blanco puts this toward the upper end of the blanco range, but it’s priced fairly for it’s quality.
