A very light amber in the glass. Aroma of rubbing alcohol, vanilla and a hint of oak. Not getting agave on the nose. Flavor of black pepper, oak, cooked agave and vanilla. Finish didn't last long.

This was just awful. Took a shot when this was ordered at a work function and didnt want to offend anyone so I went for it and I got nothing that even vaguely reminds me of what I look for in a tequila. I got artificial lime, mildew and alcohol. YUCK.
To be fair, I did find a almost empty bottle in the back of my mothers fridge, home for the holidays. I let it get to room temperature before I sipped. Aroma wasn’t there for me probably due to the bottle being low and refrigerated. Taste: Agave,citrus,pepper and an additive medicinal taste on dry down.

This is the well blanco in the bar. Aroma of lime, minerals and a medicinal smell. Flavor of black pepper spiciness, medicinal and acetone. The spiciness lasted for a while on the finish. Where is the agave?
