Top picks of off-the-radar tequilas that soon-to-be enthusiasts should consider.
Aroma: Butterscotch, cooked agave, and cinnamon spice, hints of orange zest. Taste: Sweet across the tongue with a stronger taste of the agave and cinnamon. A nice viscous consistency. Finish: Slightly vegetal agave finish, with an accentuation of the cinnamon spice, with some Mexican chocolate flavor on the end. Overall: An amazingly good tequila that reminds me of the Código 1530 añejo in both aroma and taste, but with a different finish. Lots of flavor throughout, a new one to add to my favorites.
