Jose Cuervo Especial Gold Tequila

Wow is this stuff absolutely disgusting or what? You're greeted by aromas of corroded agave, ethanol, chemical swill. You have to look hard to smell a bit of leather. The fumes just don't smell like something drinkable. It only gets *worse* when you put it in your mouth. It straight up tastes like a bunch of chemicals and refuse materials swirling in your tongue with only the faintest hint of agave. I literally gagged and recoiled upon trying it and on subsequent tastes came to dread putting it in my mouth. The finish is somewhat better. They clearly put artificial caramel flavoring in there and it does wonders to help you get through the insanely bitter finish. There's also a surprising note of white pepper that helps distract you from the wicked burn this thing leaves you with. I got a migraine after finishing my glass. Stay far, far away from this. It's actually undrinkable and tastes like poison.

Pretty good. Oak. Sweet but not too sweet
