I’m not the biggest tequila fan, so feel free to take this review with a grain of salt (and lime).
When I was a youngster, I used to play with the Japanese beetles that lived on my mother’s rose bush. I say “play”, but really, I tortured the poor bugs. I feel quite bad about it now. This tequila tastes exactly like those beetles smelled. It’s uncanny.
Now, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The smell, while undeniably insectual, is also earthy and sweet. There’s some black peppery flavor there, too, that almost overpowers the drink while simultaneously redeeming it. The taste reminds me of self-loathing, though not necessarily in a negative way. Perhaps I need to broaden my tequila horizons.
It certainly has a flavor. If you like bugs, this may be the tequila for you! Otherwise, it may be best to enjoy this liquor in a nice margarita with plenty of lime and azucar. ¡Ay ay chico chico enfermo borracho!
