On the nose, agave but definitely some ethanol. Expected for a higher proof but noticeable. Some salinity, a little lime and minerality. On the palate, very sweet agave goodness. Some Cinnamon, minerality and a bit of a buttery note that is very enticing. Overall a delicious tequila. It’s a shame that 3G isn’t doing this as their normal blend, I’m already contemplating a case of this. Very delicious and well priced if you can find it around $40.
Not a fan of this one. Nice nose, no real agave notes, funky finish.
Finally got to it and it’s a keeper. Double points for the price (Texas). A Sauza must for sure.
Nose: Raw oak. Faint bourbon aroma. General fruitiness, with cherry standing out. Vanilla and mellow barrel spice. Some earthiness. Flavor: Barrel oak is rough around the edges. Pepper and vanilla. Semi oily texture. The sweetness has a bitter/off quality on the tongue. No obvious hotness to the 45% ABV. Finish: There is something odd in the aftertaste - and it lingers in a detracting manner. Definitely a step or two down from Don Cenobio’s Batch.
