Vegetal and earthy with cinnamon anise and mint. A little bit of minerality as well. It's solid if unrefined.

Decent blanco but nothing special on the nose. Light aroma of agave, citrus, some mint. On the palate, agave, pepper, citrus. It tastes of minerals and a touch of alcohol. Lightly vegetal and earthy.

Strange nose. Maybe a little coffee like. Licorice, vanilla and cinnamon. Palate is ok. Easy enough to drink but the flavors don’t match my profile. Sweet agave is good. This sample was given to me. Don’t think I will seek it out

Aromas and taste will definitely confuse newer tequila enthusiasts. Great over all but may not be for everyone.

Aroma was pleaser with nice citrus and minerals. This one has a little heat on it with nice citrus notes. Will spend more time with it and let it open up.
