It smells bourbony. The palate is like really weak bourbon. This is a weird experience. There's some mint and a bunch of cinnamon, but it isn't excessively spicy. It's like the weakest bourbon. It isn't very sweet, though there is a lot of vanilla. As a result, it tastes a bit like coconut La Croix. There is plenty of wood, which I really do appreciate even though it is a bit too bitter and one-note. Some light caramel and a hint of cherry do eventually come in, but the total complexity is fairly low and the flavors are not super excited. It's drinkable, but making a tequila that tastes like a weak bourbon isn't really a good accomplishment. It's funny because I like it as a tequila, but despite the hedonism (from a tequila perspective), the eventual complexity is just not enough. The minimal bad flavors get it bumped up from a 12 to a 13, but a cheap (or maybe moderately priced) bourbon would be a better choice.
