El Padrino De Mi Tierra Blanco

Neat. Nose is lots of sweet fruity agave along with earth, brine. Fairly rich mouthfeel with flavors of big cooked agave, fruity, mild herbs like cilantro anise, hint of cinnamon and peppercorn. Finish is moderate with some herbal bitterness, black pepper, saccharine Overall very smooth, fairly pretty without any off-putting notes. Maybe not a purist's choice, but this could convert 'tequila haters' to give the spirit another chance. Some additives, but seems more restrained than their aged expressions. My pick of the range. Worth picking up when it goes on sale (which is fairly often)

Gift from John. Very good.

Pepper, Smooth, decent with lime, better with salt

Agave, pepper and hints of citrus on the nose. Pepper and agave on the palate, there’s another flavor I can’t quite identify, reminiscent of bell peppers but without the sweetness. Buttery mouthfeel, minimal burn on the finish. Altogether I like it, it’d make a good mixer and a decent, albeit unremarkable sipper.

Smooth warm comfort. Can sip all day.
