Reviewed October 14, 2023Nose is clean and astringent. Grass, new mown hay. Slight swimming pool and receding floral notes. Sugar candy. Pleasntly viscous mouthfeel. Warming but flavor is mostly alcohol. Some honey on the tip of the tongue. Slight lemon drop, so honey-lemon tea? -
Jose Cuervo Tradicional Añejo
Tequila Añejo — Tequila Valley, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed July 22, 2023Grassy herbal notes on the nose. Vanilla emerges in a minute or two. Some plaster of Paris. Sugared almonds in the nose is dominant in first sip. Pleasant herbal finish. Quite nice and quite original. Imparts distinct and lovely vanilla in a margarita. -
So this is a single . . . rye? Interesting. A 100/100? Hmmmm. Pretty harsh at the top, but flitting and fleeing complexity lies beneath the dark surface. Water is a friend here. Burnt butter? Elusive chemical notes. Some oak dust. Turpentine/solvent. Pipe bowl. Whisper of vanilla frosting. Ultimately, not my thing. Balcones continues to issue momentarily interesting novelties
