Rating: 8/23 N: I get more caramel, vanilla, and light banana notes than I did from the reposado. There's wood that's dry and on the dusty side. A little bit of light mineral fruity (apple?) sweetness comes through too. It's a solid nose. P: There's a nice sweet caramel with some richness, but also mineral restraint with some dustiness that blends into wood. There's a little bit of lemon and orange in here, but those flavors are hard to pick out. And then there's also this big gob of sulfur. It's really overwhelming. It's also sort of like rotting vegetation. Somehow, it seems like the vegetal and smoky flavors merged to create this real mess at the core that also lacks complexity. F: A bit of caramel sweetness and mineral, but mostly sulphur. - Conclusion - This isn't as harsh as the other Luminars, but it's the first of them that has flavor-wise been actively unenjoyable. Even for the sake of the review, I'd rather not finish this 50 ml bottle. There are some notes here that are enjoyable, but the core flavor is bad and this is still kind of harsh. There's no way that this is higher than a 9, but it's probably at least a 6. I'm leaning toward 8. I feel like the joven can get away with the sulphur better because it's a deliberately funky product. The flavor here seems like a more refined until the big, rotting, sulphuric blob hits. The sulphur along might leave it at a 9, but the rotting flavor is horrible. I think an 8 seems about right.
