Medicinal nose and swirling coats the glass which turns over several minutes into slow tears. I suspect glycerin added to this from the viscosity. Otherwise flavor is not exceptional with some agave sweetness, oak spice and a medium finish that clings to the tongue. Not any real bitterness here as in some reposado, but also nothing distinctive in the overall flavor and presentation except the matte black bottle and that glycerin.
