November 23 2021 My 2nd dram from this 200 ml ceramic bottle. An ounce and a half (45 g) at room temperature in a Glencairn glass. Excepting the agave herbal note, the nose is not dissimilar to whiskey.I’ve swilled lots of good whiskey, so it’s pleasant, but I’m not gonna swoon over it. The predominant palate impression is of sweet caramel and alcohol heat. Yes, it’s very smooth, but there’s a slight burn at the back of the throat, even though I’m a cautious sipper. It’s all rather nice, but somewhat sweeter than I’d prefer, and I’m gonna reaffirm my current preference for the vegetal herbal notes of a high quality unbarreled tequila, say Don Julio Blanco, anyone? In closing I can’t resist a parting shot in the direction of the site reviewer. He scored it 97, and listed impressions that seem to me highly imaginative. I suspect he was over-awed by the price, the presentation, and the distiller’s reputation.
