Nose: lactic/ musty/ vegetal / melon / lime / bell pepper/ hay / tea / sage / hint of smoke Taste: agave raw / vanilla/ cinnamon / pepper/ pineapple/ apple / melon / citrus / lemon grass / hay / mint / sage / earth Finish: watery wet mouthfeel/ cool water effect / lingering agave, pepper, and cinnamon. Has a bittersweet flavor on final swallow This blanco high proof just has a rough nose…nothing there to love or hate., just too much lactic for me. The taste has some really bold flavors, but the earthy and sage type notes just made this a tough pour to love.
Wow it is like I am in an orchard. The fruits are everywhere apples and pears and even peaches. There is also agave and peppers, maybe red bell peppers The palate is just as tasty. A delicious sweetness of honey and fruits. The high ABV works beautifully with this one. I highly recommend this and can’t wait until my next pour The mouthfeel is good. I’d like it to be a little more viscous but it is only a minor ding.
Nose: vegetal, mineral, salinity & muted cooked agave. Wet cement & cream corn. Taste: Black and White Pepper. Bell Pepper and some Jalapeño. Cooked agave and alcohol. Finish: It’s viscous and peppery. There’s a nice alcohol tingle. It’s a flavor bomb.
Mineral in the mouth with roast agave and a root vegetable pepperiness like a parsnip. Peniel thought radish but I think after talking with her about this for a few minutes she was agreeing with me.
Received as a sample from Agave Swappers so I am setting value at 5/10
notes of raw agave, malolactic, mustiness, cement, hay, dirt, earth, alcohol. this is nice. decent heat that adds to the complexity. slight and pleasant bitterness. touch of agave sweetness.
Oh Wow!! Peppery with Apples, Pears and bits of Banana and creaminess the agave just pops so much you know it's cooked and ripe.
Old town Wait a day to open up!
This is a really good still strength blanco at 50% abv. The nose has a strong cooked agave with some a bit of vegetal. The taste is a cooked agave bomb with some pepper and fruit. This doesn't drink like a high proof. This reminds me a bit of Calle 23 Criollo.
