The nose is sweet, with agave and a bright fruity citrus held up by black pepper and cinnamon, with a vaguely earthy quality throughout. The palette is earthy, with the peppery spicy notes coming to the forefront. The sweeter fruit notes from the nose are still present, but now act as a sort of seasoning to the pleasantly bittersweet palette. The finish is lengthy but subtle, leaving a bittersweet oil that becomes slight medicinal, but in a very pleasant way, with a very slight earthy dark chocolate presenting itself after some time This is my first foray into additive free, high quality tequila and I am not disappointed. Great sipper, although I wonder how it would stand up in cocktails.
