Tastes

Too sweet, like sweetner added. Ok as a mixer in a sweeter cocktail, with a little mezcal to offset with dry smokiness.

A half notch above the blanco. Just a bit more burn and minerality. Excellent.

clean traditional agave forward, peppery, mineral.

has a burnt grassy agave taste, with some butane lighter wick in the nose. Some thin sugary sweetness in the taste and a hint of citric acidity. It’s ok but with a weird butane bouquet. Works as a mixer, but don't recommend as a sipper.

lots of vanilla in nose, bit some brulee crust burnt sugar. Taste is also a bit sweet with vanilla, metallic vegital agave, and nice burn that spreads across the mouth. Very pleasant overall. B+.

Salty and somewhat sweet. Spicy black pepper burn late. Not as earthy and vegetal as Fortaleza, but still has a nice spicey rustic edge to it, nice metallic salty nose, but not harsh. Very nice, tad sweet.

good sense of vegetal agave juice, but has strong alcohol burn in the nose and taste. WRT Fortaleza, it's a little cleaner front to mid taste with more burn, and a bit more sweet towards the finish. Has a bit of earthy mineral notes in the late finish. It's like Fortaleza, but a bit cleaner and with less character and more burn.

Butane (like a zippo wick), smoke, dry wood, grassy, earthy, also vaguely plastic straw (like when you chew on it) that said it’s interesting earthy smokey vegetal, and more sippable than my adjectives suggest. @ Gueros in Austin TX

peppery vegetal agave nose, taste is clean boozy agave, pepper, metallic, plant fiber, slightly oily mouthfeel. Overall outstanding pure expression of distilled agave. Earthy pure, agave forward.

boozy creme brulee caramel nose. Taste is like a dry, rum like hard to pin down strong spirit. Don't get much agave vegetal flavor or smoke, more like a grassy cognac. My first high end extra anejo, so my palate is still learning. Good but lacking in agave character/soul, amorphous generic strong rummy spirit flavor to me. I wish it would commit to being either more agave vegetal, or go more caramel sweet spirit, but it rides the fence, which makes it less interesting.
