Apparently this bottle is considered by many to be the gold standard for Tequila. Being a relative novice with the spirit I can only compare based on my limited experience and preference for sweeter extra anejos. Nose is defintely agave and borderline on what I enjoy. Not much else going on. First sip is fairly light to start, but brings on an almost scotch like. The initial tequila sweetness plays into a vanilla and marzipan lane. There is a somewhat sharp burn that comes on late, but fades quickly. I can see why this appeals to many scotch drinkers. The fired agave gives a somewhat smokey edge to the sweetness. For me this one is good, but not great. Would take a pour, but not likely shell out for the bottle. If you lean towards Padre and Adictivo this will probably fall short of the hype, but if you consider those to be overly sweet this will probably be right up your alley.
