Agave, mint, pepper … decent legs.

Eucalyptus forward with the perfect amount of roasted agave swirling around my mouth. This is old school, the style of tequila that made me fall in love to begin with. This punches far above its weight for value, I recommend stashing a bottle or two.

Masters Class/Blind Tasting at La Cata

Aged in white oak for 9 months. Very light in color. Nose: Vanilla, butterscotch and ripe round fruit. Light pepper. Flavors: Nutty toffee, black pepper and graham cracker spices. Viscous in the mouth. A little flowery. It finishes leaving you knowing that you have tasted a solid tequila. Some fruit and bold baking spices evolve at the last moment....

Nose: Spicy agave, minerals, thyme and earthiness. Flavor: Sweetness coats the tongue with a light hint of jalapeño, pineapple and almonds. Finish is medium long with a white pepper zing, and slight bitterness.

Nose is redolent of raspberries, ripe agave and mellow oak, with some butterscotch notes. Round floral notes, nutty and cinnamon flavors. Nice peppery note. Balanced medium finish. Not stellar, but very pleasing.
