Vegetal grass on the nose. Nice creamy palate and finish. Not bad but prefer Lote 1
Nose: agave / hint of cinnamon/ earth and mineral/ pepper / hint of fruit / orange peel / lime / grapefruit/ lemongrass / orange blossom/ salt Taste: sweet agave cooked / vanilla / licorice/ cinnamon/ banana/ apple / lime/ peppermint/ orange blossom/ baking spice/ cream soda Finish: lightly viscous mouthfeel with lingering delicious sweet agave, anise, and vanilla flavors that are very well balanced with the pepper/cinnamon notes. The sweetness is bold and does s great job of masking the 54% abv. The slight bittersweet final finish note is resolved with more lingering sweet and minty freshness This high proof blanco brings some bold flavors that hide the high 54% abv. There’s a good balance to the flavors through some delicious cinnamon/ pepper notes - signature G4/ NOM 1579 tastes. The nose is a little weak, but the taste and finish make up for it. Very good and easy to recommend.

Traditionally-made Tequilas Rise to the Top of the 2017 Spirits of Mexico Competition.
Nose of sweet fruits like apple and pair. I can smell the barrel notes from the cognac. Very pleasant on the nose with nothing that overwhelms the overall presentation. The taste very much mirrors the nose. There is some agave notes but the barrel has done its magic to bring forth fruits, caramel, cognac, and chocolate. Mouthfeel is very nice and this is an excellent sipper and would complement a great dessert after a fine dining experience.
