Aroma: lemon/lime/grapefruit with a little grilled meat. Memorable and lovely Taste: citrus, a bit vegetal, with floral notes. Mid-weight viscosity Finish: moderately long. Starts off a bit weird, but actually improves over time. Fair price at $49
Fresh clean wood, cooked agave, vanilla, burnt sugar (creme brûlée)
Nose: grapefruit soda, floral, mint Palate: cooked agave, bright citrus, grapefruit zest, and pepper. Scattered floral notes.
Aroma: good citrus notes with smoked agave, whiskey really comes through as well. Just like the other renditions of la Pulga, honey really comes through. Lots of minerality as well. Hints of cherry/fruits Taste: lots of smokiness from the barrels. Caramel and honey. Moderate alcohol/ heat. Finish: caramel and slight honey lingers. Smokiness really comes through as well.
With every batch of La Pulga spirits, tequileros in a remote village in Jalisco play loud Mexican rock music around the clock for three to six days while the liquid bubbles and froths.
Aroma: black cherry, chocolate, cigar box Taste: dusty and scotch like, with a nice residual sweetness. A bit smoky overall Finish: medium length with a few twists and turns. Worth contemplating next to a fireplace.
