The nose is a little mild, but the agave is front and center. A little citrus, some ethanol, and a note of almost over ripe fruit. A bit of pepper. As it opens up, the ethanol dissipates and I get more sweet baking spice notes. On the palate, cooked agave front and center. Very oily, full bodied. Citrus is there, leaning towards orange peel for me. A little bit of brine, some pepper. A nice appropriate sweetness. Wow, this one took me by surprise. I would put this right up there with Arette in terms of value and taste, it’s decently sippable but cheap enough that I’d have no problem putting this in an cocktail. Overall very solid budget blanco. Picked up at Ramirez in LA for about $20.
