This is a bit of a departure from my bread and butter. I had it years ago, found out it had been discontinued, decided I needed a bottle of my own before it was gone for good. Let’s check it out. Nose: Floral notes with a heavy vanilla pop. Grapefruit and lemon. Agave. Green bell pepper. Pear. Peach. Palate: Cactus and agave. Vanilla. Mango. Vanilla. Coconut. Green bell pepper. Toffee. Peach tea. Finish: Agave and cactus. Green bell pepper. Mango. Vanilla and toffee. Peach. Relatively short. Tequila is by no means something I’d consider to be in my wheelhouse. It’s my second spirit to the broad category of whisk(e)y, and yet I couldn’t say that tequila makes up 0.1% of my spirit intake. So as an amateur in this category, I’ll say this is pretty good. Easy-going. Standard tequila notes with a few wrinkles thrown in that distinguish this one. I am a big fan of the bolder and brasher, higher ABV whiskies with funky barrel selections or peat influence, and yet with tequila, I prefer a delicate touch and balanced profile. That’s exactly what this experience yields. At $53, this is well worth the price of entry. It’s a shame that it’s been discontinued, so hopefully I can snag one more before it’s all said and done. 3.75/5. Solid stuff.
