The flavor tends toward the mild with some alcohol presence, but impressively little. There is a clear herbal presence if you wait long enough, but it is mild enough to get mixed in with the alcohol giving a slight note of rubbing alcohol. It's somewhat like T1 Reposado diluted with Chopin Wheat Vodka. Agave is present with the faintest hints of lime and green olives combined with some lingering mint. Eventually, I can pick out some sweetness. The flavor is well-rounded but not very rich. If you imagine hard enough, there is a lot going on here. Otherwise though, it is pretty underwhelming. It isn't bad, but it isn't exciting. It's mostly just technically impressive. I do wish that the finish were less spicy though (it's an interesting mix of spicy and smooth). The long finish is clean with a tad of numbness. Honestly, it mostly seems like a great mixer. I would be perfectly happy to sip this, but I would never love it. Note: this review underestimates the sweetness.
