Tequila. Not something i usually drink...at least not that I remember it. I still have a couple of them in my samples. Not sure if I want to taste them after this. Day 2, here we go...actually looking forward to tomorrow...yeah I peeked into it...tomorrow is Highland Park day. Gonna need that after monday...
But, back to this...beverage. The smell starts with a very strong note of paint thinner. Really, nitro is the first thing my inner eye imagined. There is some lemon in there, some pepper and a fresh smell that I would probably describe as freshly cut grass. To be honest, not a combination that I enjoy.
The taste is a bit better than the smell, but it feels somewhat watered down. The first sip was literally like water, no taste whatsoever at first. Then some sweetness with honey and caramel notes started appearing, with a salty pepper mix at it's tailend. I like salted caramel, so the taste is really not that bad, but it just isn't nearly as intense as it should be.
Aftertaste...does not exist. It's water, caramel, salt, done.
It's a shame really, the taste that is there is actually quite enjoyable, but it is buried under a ton of watery nothingness. At least it is not undrinkable, so 2.5 is a decent score for it, but I can't justify anything higher than that.
Makes me wonder how the anejo would taste in comparison....
