Bottle is from Nov. 2009. Not bad initially and has that underlying pineapple/fruit element to the flavor similar to other Herradura products from that time. It has an odd undertone on the finish that says diffuser artifact, fake sweet like nutrasweet. Finish is short and smooth with little ethanol on the tongue or palate.
Some spiciness, floral and vanilla aromas. Flavor comes in pretty hot and thin - with a nutty note. Finish is about as noteworthy as the nose and flavors.
Not a fan. This has all the aroma and flavor of a diffuser. It’s a shame that they went in this direction with a tequila that was once interesting.
The bottle I tasted from was so filled with diffuser aromas and distillation defects that I couldn’t take more than 2 sips.

Harsh, medicinal, thick in the mouth with a bitter note. Might be better chilled. 2011 marbete and 500ml, this has a lote number and the time of bottling but no date inside the front label with all that.
