I am not experienced in tequila and the aromas and flavors outside the shots or margarita mixers. I purchased this for my son who still somewhat star struck and impressionable with celebrities. This seems to be a bit difficult to find as, I guess, others are just as impressionable by ‘The Rock’ and stocks are empty. Found this last bottle for my son, but of course I had to see/taste what this was all about.
A slightly medicinal aroma initially greets you. As it diminishes, lemon citrus, vanilla and charcoal are the primary notes. Trace amounts of bitter dark chocolate cocoa can be detected. All in all, though, all lightweight and inviting.
Soft texture which brings tropical fruits with vanilla sweetness. This is either quickly distilled or pulled early from the barrels as there is a mild prickly quality often felt from youthful spirits. Lemon and lime citrus with hints of charcoal. This fades to the finish. Over ice, the bite is tamed and more vanilla and lemon zest push forward. More of a bitterness come through on the fade.
A medium finish that reminds me somewhat like the original Listerine mouthwash with some lemon zest and vanilla.
This could be a starter tequila sipper. It may be a good Margarita tequila as the char adds a bit of character. A lemon thread from nose to finish. Not bad but I would seek something more. Drinkable. Not horrible and many may like and love. I prefer this over ice than neat. Worthy of a try and won’t crush you by the price. [83/100][Tasted: 5/15/20]
