The aroma immediately draws attention with a prominent brine note that takes center stage, accompanied by light honey, subtle oak, and a potent alcohol presence. Delicate hints of herbs, light caramel, and cooked agave provide a nuanced backdrop. On the palate, the brine remains the dominant force, overshadowing the other flavors. The barrel’s influence slightly mutes the minerality, but the essence of agave prune emerges, alongside green bell pepper, mint, molasses, caramel, mocha, light honey, and faint banana, with a subtle touch of dill. The alcohol tone is bold but not overpowering, adding structure to the tasting experience. The finish reveals a lingering light minerality and herbal notes, with a faint sweetness that clings gently to the palate. Although I anticipated more minerality and barrel sweetness, the brine overwhelms the profile, making it a lackluster experience.
Nose is pretty good. I get agave, oak, vanilla and caramel as one might expect. I good amount of banana. Alcohol on the nose. Taste is not as good as the nose. I get agave and barrel notes. I get a good amount of whiskey and it isn’t a whiskey taste that I care for. Finish is fine. I’d drink it again but won’t be buying it. I got it in a sample swap. This is why I like trading with fellow tequileros so I know where to invest my money.
The aroma on this one has a strong mineralality. A bit of wet cement aroma. It is grassy but agave does come through. Picking up some citrus and other fruit like Apple peel. The taste is easy on the palate. Nice and naturally sweet. Minerals do come through. I get a touch of mint. The apple is also there. The finish is good. Maybe a little thin and a slight alcohol finish but nothing that would distract from the overall experience. This is a good budget tequila that can be a sipper but should make an excellent cocktail.
Fresh agave, bright citrus, hint of alcohol and white pepper that leads into the finish. Super affordable. Beginner sipper and cocktail king.
When it comes to fine sippers to savor, spirits aficionados have long reached for premium whiskeys or Cognacs. But it may be time to add a new category to the sipping canon: tequila.
From artisanal new-crop distilleries to established, world-famous brands, master tequila distillers have begun barrel-aging the blue agave–based spirit for years, allowing the wood to layer rich notes of vanilla and caramel atop agave’s natural spice. But

The aroma is warm and inviting, opening with rich notes of oak, bourbon, and honey, followed by cedar, roasted nuts, salted caramel, and a lovely touch of banana and vanilla. Remarkably, there's no alcohol sting, making the nose somewhat gourmand and enticing. On the palate, it unfolds with a delectable roasted sweetness. Almond, cooked honey, and the creamy warmth of crème brûlée meld beautifully with bourbon and roasted nuts. Layers of maple, minerality, sea salt, unsweetened cacao, dried apricot, and candied yam offer complexity, while a hint of peppermint and peppery alcohol adds a lively kick. The finish lingers with a fading sweetness that clings gently to the palate, accompanied by light salinity, fading bourbon, and a trace of candied yam. To me, this is a pleasant high-proof añejo, leaving a lasting impression with its balance and depth.
