Difficult to find any prominent aromas or flavors here. There's an artificial/chemical/medicinal aroma here that doesn't smell like the type of traditionally-made tequilas I like.
Nose: There is something reminiscent in the aromas that take me back to my college Cuervo shooting days. There is no agave. I get alcohol, pepper and a bile like bitterness. Flavor: Bitter hot start, with astringent notes, followed by an “off” sweetness. I honesty could not get myself to swallow this...
Fruitcake, burnt pineapple
Initial aroma is antiseptic alcohol and brine. With a little time (5-6 minutes), the aroma evolves to more traditional barrel notes - caramel and vanilla - but still carries some of the antiseptic aroma from the opening. Flavor opens full of tropical fruit - banana, pineapple, slight citrus - that is quickly overcome by a strong, spicy heat. For all of the flavor, the finish is surprisingly short. 9/9/2015
