Cooked agave minerals earth floral and black pepper on the nose with some fruit notes. Taste is similar with pepper and jalapeño hanging around at the finish to give a little heat. Complex and enjoyable blanco

Has that Mijenta unique and enhanced flavor profile. If you like Mijenta stuff then you’ll enjoy this one. It’s probably the most complex Mijenta I’ve had and I’ve had all the Mijenta line up (minus the cristalino) At 100 proof, it packs a punch of flavor!!

On the nose: Brine, floral, citrus, sweet cooked agave, cherry, Pallet: Starts pretty hot, cooked agave comes in, pepper, citrus, Overall, I enjoy this tequila. I don’t know how much I can point to the unique process of starting from seed to any special flavors, but it’s a great juice with a unique approach.

Tried in a sample cup. Nose is nice with sweet agave and some alcohol from the high proof. The taste is agave with some mint and earth. Very solid.

Medicinal nose with some slight agave. There is a nice initial agave sweetness with some mild cinnamon on the palate. This is very mild in the mouth with some lower lip and tongue buzz. Medium length finish to wrap things up.

Nose: Beautiful juicy and ripe fruit on the nose. Silky smooth butter, caramel, and plenty of earth character. The fruit truly is the star of the show. Cherry, cider, prune, pear, grapes, and tropical fruit. Mild herbal pieces of celery and sage. Citrus comes in with a blast of orange, tangerine and no absence of grapefruit. Palate: Very nice body with plenty of viscosity. Similar to the nose, the fruitiness is the standout for me. Apple, banana, Cherry, cider, and berry. While there is agave character, it stands somewhat in the back. It’s like a beautifully ripe fruit salad with tequila gently poured over. Easily the most complex tequila I have to date.

Bottle: Bottle Number 01-0020875, MJ/BCO/MS/010224 Appearance: Clear Nose: Cooked and raw agave, vegetal, aloe vera, herbal, menthol, sage, anise, minerality, dry earth, butter, brine/salinity, olive, white pepper, alcohol, lactic, citrus, grapefruit, flowers, and cinnamon…undeniably unique Palate: Cooked and raw agave, cinnamon, alcohol, black pepper, peppermint, herbal, sage, anise, menthol/camphor, lemongrass, lactic, citrus, grapefruit, flowers, rose petals, vegetal, grass, brine/salinity, and butter…blasts of both flavor and heat Finish: Alcohol, peppermint, black pepper, anise, cinnamon, and raw agave…mostly heat, with a viscous mouthfeel and a long, warming presence Overall: First and foremost, this needs some time to rest and open up. With each subsequent tasting, I let it rest progressively longer. Now on my fourth revisit, and after about ~40 minutes, all I really have to say is “wow!” This really has a unique profile that, to me, is completely different from Mijenta’s core offerings. It’s not the most balanced in terms of heat, but the aromas and flavors are up front and in your personal space right away. I will be buying another bottle or two.

This is amazing!! I have had it a few times now and the more I have it open the better it gets! The nose is floral, earthy and lots of agave after it has rested. This may be my fav high proof. I can’t wait to do it in a blind. To many flavors to explain and the finish is amazing!!

This is a unique high proof with a great nose, fantastic flavors, and an amazing finish. For being 100 proof there is hardly any heat on this one. Nose: cooked agave, earth, grass, cinnamon, vegetal, and orange peel. Palate: cooked agave, grass, olive, cinnamon, vegetal, citrus, and anise. The finish is my absolute favorite about this high proof. It just lingers around and has a great viscous mouth feel. Very enjoyable sipper.

There’s a lot going on here but the secret is to let this open up. Drink slowly! Aroma is earthy, floral, a bit fruity and cinnamon. But it keeps changing over time as the alcohol blows off, so it’s a fun experience as long as you have some time. Lots of agave sweetness and a super long finish. A touch of mint and creamy caramel flavors. This is a fun tequila, but seriously take it slow and cherish it. And the agave-from-seed thing is mind blowing

I was hoping to love this after some of the early press I saw. I do really like it but it doesn’t meet the hype for me. The nose is earthy and floral. I get raw and cooked agave. I like a chocolate note and this has it. Maybe even a little strawberry. I really like the nose. On the tongue, I was hoping for an explosion of flavors but I get a dominant note of alcohol, anise and minerality. Agave comes through but pulling out individual flavors is hard. I let this rest a while but it is a first pour. It is possible this goes up for me later but for now it is a good offering, not a great offering for me. This one gets better as it breathes. Updated by a few points on third pour. After rating this in a TMM blind, I do not think this one is for me. The alcohol just overpowers the flavors.

Clean agave and pepper on the nose. Pepper follows through the palate and finish with some heat. I like pepper so it’s good but the complexity is missing for me

Agave, sour notes, like olive brine, some thyme, quality sipper, just not my favorite flavor profile

Nose is pretty hot with alcohol and agave, the mouth I do enjoy, sweet cooked agave. Finish is strong and long. Will need to revisit this another time.
