On the nose, lactic Funk. Immediate grassy, almost cheesy funk. Very reminiscent of those malolactic notes from the Cazcanes joven. Sweet cooked agave, minerals, some baking spice like clove. A touch of vanilla, and some salinity.
On the palate, just wow. That’s an immediate kick to the face. This definitely lets you know you’re drinking high proof. Tons of flavor, overwhelming at first. Then the notes start coming through, cooked agave, some green olive. A little bit wet earth, some spiciness and a light hint of that lactic note from the nose but nowhere near as prominent. Very full bodied, oily, and a little overwhelming on the flavor profile.
Solid. That heat just comes with the very intense flavor profile I suppose, definitely lives up to the brand name! I would recommend this to somebody who likes high proofs. If you can find it in that $55 range or even cheaper, you’d be golden. I’d probably add another point to value for every $3-4 knocked off the price.
