Nose: Sweet cooked agave right up front with a solid hit of black pepper. Subtle layers of oak, caramel, and vanilla peek through, giving it warmth without overpowering that agave core. Taste: Smooth and peppery with roasted agave at the center. Notes of light oak, caramel, and citrus zest develop as it opens up — clean, balanced, and approachable. Finish: Medium-length finish with lingering pepper spice and a gentle fade of vanilla and sweet oak. Simple, honest, and perfectly drinkable neat or over ice. Great price

There’s a ton of black pepper on the aroma and flavor, so if that’s your thing then you’ll be into this. But overall it’s a pretty simple profile, not complex. Safe enough to appeal to a wide range of people. And, the price is right so it’s a decent value. [Lot 1023]

A little oak and caramel, followed by the same agave and earthy/funky notes I picked up in the blanco. Decent value Repo at only ~$35
