This smells really vegetal and a bit sweet. It kind of has a carrots and cabbage smell. The palate is really mild and full of minerals, but it also has that Corralejo Reposado mushroom element that is hard to escape and that I now realize is minerals plus bitterness. This is frankly just a lot like Corralejo Reposado. It might be a tad fruitier with some tropical notes, but it doesn't have a ton of complexity and doesn't taste terribly ages either. It's quite drying and very earthy. Yeah, this is a form of tequila, but it's not a great combination of young and earthy. I'd much rather drink something else. There's a bit of that Don Julio flavor here mixed with the Corralejo Reposado mineral, but it is just enough to add a good note, not enough to eradicate the dissatisfying notes. There's a bit of orange rind going on here and it does come with some mellow caramel that helps to suppress the mushrooms. It has a lot of floral and vanilla going on too. This finish is kind of light in a refreshing way, but I'm still not sure I like this tequila. I kind of might sip it, but it is pretty weak and I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to choose it.
