Builds slightly on the blanco and reposado, but a moderately bitter finish holds this back overall. Some slight sweetness after 4 or 5 minutes. I paid very little for this 4 or 5 years ago so value adds to the overall score.
Good mix of agave and oak nose. Umami mushroom and earth on entry, with faint sweetness. Turns spicy before a green, grassy finish. Very good value, getting harder to find these older bottles. Solid, buy if you find one
