The nose is richer with more chocolate than regular San Matias. It has a really weirdly oily smell going on with something a bit rancid, but not sulfuric - it's like pureed cauliflower. The cauliflower tastes like Clan MacGregor and it isn't good, though it vaguely works a bit in a tequila. The palate is quite viscous with a rich sort of malty presence that has gross bread for sure, but in a rich dignified way that is kind of enjoyable. It's sweet but enjoyable. The flavor can be a bit mineral and watery, but it doesn't taste light. The richness and oiliness seem like good base flavors for something, but they're a way from a complete profile. It's a bit odd and mainly has its richness and viscosity going for it. Lunazul has more going on in its flavor profile, so I kind of prefer it. This isn't substantially worse though.
The weird tip that salvages this tequila is that it goes great in eggnog!
