MX Release.

MX Release. Loses points due to value.

It may have not made it into the 90’s for my rating, but to be honest, the bottle has been opened and not gassed. Still, it’s really tasty Silver and I highly recommend you try it. Suave products are very good and still under the radar.

Mexican release. Bottled at the curious ABV of 36.4%. Nose: Agave, pear, mineral note, black pepper and some spiciness with a trace of vanilla cream. Flavor: There is more spice and pepper punch than the somewhat timid aromas had promised. Hot cinnamon, tingly pepper, some salinity and a suggestion of vanilla wafer cookies. Agave does not get lost in the shuffle. Finishes with a tiny bitter aftertaste, but rests nicely in your mouth for the finish.

Mexican release 36.4% ABV Nose: The initial impression is smoke, spice and minerals. Followed by vanilla, lemon/lime and a floral note. The spices begin to define their individual components: cinnamon, powdered ginger, and a marriage of allspice and nutmeg. Flavor: Nice mouthfeel. Flavors of graham crackers, vanilla, hazelnut, cinnamon, and citrus. Moderate pepper heat and a hint of anise. I’m wishing that I could have tried the US counterpart at 40% ABV. I feel like I’m not getting the whole picture here at 36.4%.

Pleasant fruit (guayaba?) spice (nutmeg) honey and vanilla aromas. Sweet agave and light caramel flavor from the mature agave used. Light finish and mouthfeel. Perfect for aged tequila lovers who like an open, and naturally sweet tequila rather than a dry oak-forward XA. For me, it’s a great special occasion or end-of-the night with dessert sipper.
