For some tequila lovers it’s not enough to simply go to the store and pickup their favorite brands. They crave the rare, the undiscovered, the known but forgotten—in short, they like to hunt for tequila treasures.
Much appreciation to Jake Lustig for gifting me this oldie, thanks brotha! The aroma opens with a strong ethyl/alcohol presence but also reveals light lemon citrus, grass, and black pepper notes. Subtle hints of cooked agave with a prune essence, orange zest, and a touch of brine. The palate's encounterance is of vibrant orange, lemon, and lime zest flavors, along with cooked agave essence reminiscent of prunes and sweet raisins. Prominent white sugar sweetness is complemented by a brief peppery heat, balanced with grassy notes and green grapes/apples that add a refreshing flare. The finish offers a fading zest of tanginess and grassiness, with a hint of brine, leading to a final watery freshness.
