The nose has a surprising seaweed smell. It smells bitter, herbal, and vegetal in a somewhat murky way. A bit too much squash comes out on the nose. The palate is surprisingly sweet and oily with an aggressive grassiness with chalk dust that is really unappealing. The squash flavor is there mixed with gross bread in an interesting but unappealing way. There in something earthy like Sauza Blue tossed in like a lifeline. There's a fair amount going on here and it certainly is interesting, but the result is jarring and unpalatable. A strange prickly spiciness comes through throughout. What it can't be faulted for is the viscous mouthfeel. Good Lord that gross bread though - it tastes so mildewed! Balcones Baby Blue is a bit more interesting with a couple of more luxurious flavors coming through that remind me a bit of Green Spot. This is not as good on any dimension. It's remarkable how little this has going for it - a truly awful tequila! It almost tastes like some bastardized Martinique rum.
This is so actively hard to drink that it's impressive, mildewed cardboard and rubber for days. The alcohol is clearly there too. There are hints of other things too like fruits, minerals, and unaged sugarcane rum (squash), but it's awful.
