Cabo Wabo Blanco Tequila

Started slightly sweet and moved to a more pepper and spice flavor and ended with a touch of heat. Not as good as it could be, but still a solid tequila that I would drink again.

Decent. Good for mixing

It smells light, sweet, and floral, with definite vanilla and something a bit vegetal providing richness. There's maybe a little bit of smoke on the nose too. The palate has some sweet minerality with squash vegetal that mixes a bit with some tropical fruit. There's a little bit of spice, but not a ton. It's on the sweet side, but it is balanced. It's a tad minty, but not too much. I'm not tasting that big vanilla that I tasted before, but that may be because I just drank El Padrino Añejo before this. There's enough of something a bit meaty to offset the sweet squash. It's quite good, but not amazing. Definitely better than Patrón though, probabaly even Patrón Añejo. It's no Cabeza Blanco. It tastes fine, with some nice vanilla on top of a standard tequila flavor that lacks depth and complexity, but at least has richness. It's no El Jimador Añejo, but it is better than Cuervo Gold (though it does have less complexity).
