N: Burnt caramel, stir-fried mixed veggies, vanilla, sweet agave, barrel char, and maybe some buttered bread.
P: Sweet vanilla and caramel, floral notes, bell pepper, a hint of diesel fuel (and somehow not in a bad way), salt, and white tea. Mouthfeel is light, almost thin but not quite, with sourness in it that I don't associate with any particular flavor.
F: Dash of cinnamon, sweet oak, barrel spice, cooked vegetables, soy sauce, earth and cut grass.
Plenty going on here. Super interesting tequila, I think, but my experience is limited. I have a general aversion to tequila, but I'm trying to work through that here and there. Call it tequila therapy. I doubt I would do this one again, but that's more about the cost than my general aversion - this kinda breaks through the aversion, but at a price I'm not willing to regularly pay. Teq heads would likely feel differently.

@skillerified it’s a neat little app. Really helped me understand the production process and variety of tequila better so that I could make some informed choices on the bottles I have in my collection.
@LouisianaLonghorn I feel like I've heard of Tequila Matchmaker, but can't place why. Anyway - I'll just attribute it to you now.
I’ve been branching into sipping tequila in the last year as well. I e not had this expression but this brand was one of the first I tried, and their core line is solid VFM. If you know what kind of flavors you’re looking for, have you checked out Tequila Matchmaker? It’s sort of like Distiller but just for Tequila fans and has tons of flavor profiles and community reviews.
