My first foray into actually discovering and appreciating a tequila.
Incredibly sweet agave heavy nose with herbaceous pepper notes and a light waft of oak. Not much alcohol present in the nose, but the overall robustness of the smells is crazy, much more potent than any bourbon, cognac, rum or gin I’ve ever tried.
Agave is overwhelming in the palette as well, not in a bad way. Other flavors include oak, pine, bitters, cinnamon, pepper and diesel.
Finish is very floral with the diese lingering. Dry and sticky.
Delicious stuff. Great as a sipper, also great in a lemon basil margarita.
