Reviewed July 10, 2021Rating: 11/23 N: Sweet, orange, confectioner's sugar, mild spices. It's very approachable, but a bit in-your-face with the sweetness. It's also not terribly interesting, though there is some nice complexity from the spices. P: Fruity (orange) with some nice sweetness, but also confectioner's sugar, albeit mixed with a lot of paper and vanilla so it's not as forceful. There are some interesting spices going on here, but it isn't hot or harsh. I get a bit of agave, but there really isn't much coming through compared to the other flavors. The spices are very prickly and I'm having trouble identifying them. It's a real stretch to say that I get harbal notes, though it's a bit funky at times and I do pick up a little oil. At most I get faint lime and mint. This has much the same fruity sweetness as Prospero Blanco. I was hoping that some more complexity would be revealed here, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The profile reminds me a lot of that of El Jimador Añejo. It's sort of like a moderately more refined version of that with less confectioner's sugar. F: Much the same profile as the palate. Maybe a bit more bitter orange peel. It's still very clean and surprisingly it retains its sweetness, though it does dry out a bit. - Conclusion - This is a solid choice for mixing with, but it doesn't have the complexity or general profile needed for serious sipping. As with the blanco, I take issue with the amount of sweetness overwhelming the traditional agave flavors. In this case, I don't get as much alcohol coming through and there is some nice barrel spice, but I get a bit much confectioner's sugar. What's really weird though is that this is kind of a nice base profile for something like an American Single Malt in the vein of Swift (Speyside style). So where does this land overall? I'm afraid that I do prefer the blanco (13), but I like this better than El Jimador Añejo (9). So it'a a 10, 11, or 12. I'm most seriously considering an 11 or 12. Initially, I liked the blanco a lot better than this. Now, I think they're closer. If this just didn't remind me so much of El Jimador Añejo's confectioner's sugar sweetness, I could see myself giving it a higher rating - possibly as high as a 15, but likely not higher than a 14. Partida Añejo is certainly more complex and balanced than this, and that would probably still be the case even if this didn't have that confectioner's sugar sweetness.34.0 USD per Bottle -
