There’s some dried grass, some funky agave, some citrus and a bunch of earth on the aroma. After it opens up for a while, a whole bunch of cinnamon comes out, which is nice. There’s a lot of agave in the flavor though, and it’s pretty thick and coating in the mouth. A nice blend of cooked agave and vanilla on the tongue and in the finish as it fades. The finish on this is my favorite part.

Vessel: Chisholm Trail Jarrito glass Nose: Honey, lactic, bubblegum, cooked agave, butter, light baking spice Palate: Honey, vanilla, pepper, cinnamon, coconut Finish: Honey, cream soda, vanilla, baking spice, cinnamon The subtle lactic note on the nose sets the tone for the sweeter progression. On the palate, honey, vanilla, pepper, cinnamon, and coconut offer a rich contrast to that initial tang. The finish is even sweeter and smoother, with a creamy feel and lingering baking spice and cinnamon.

Bottle: Batch No: J72501 Appearance: Golden cornsilk Initial thoughts… Nose: Butter, lactic, baking spice Palate: Cooked agave, alcohol, brine/salinity Finish: Cinnamon, raisin, black pepper Final review pending…

This 100% agave joven has it all. It’s composed of 59% Blanco, 13% of a 10-month Reposado, 26% of a 17-month Añejo, and 2% of a 38-month XA. It’s bottled at 40%ABV - 80 proof. The nose is layered with ripened red fruits over cooked agave with hints of raw honey. Some oak tannins punch through. They are dry and slightly musty. The nose has a light perfume-like quality. I taste the baked agave, with caramel notes, along with unfiltered honey. The barrel spices are dry, slightly tannic, and peppery. It has a medium body. Overall it’s a well-balanced tequila with a layered aroma and a nice mix of sweet agave and pleasant barrel spices that are slightly dry.

Upfront I get a caramel butterscotch flavor. Overhaul it’s ok tequila but the bitter finish is throwing me off.. Sample from Agave Swapper.

This is a fantastic tequila! Aromas of cooked agave w/ sweetness of honey, caramel & dried fruit, spices of cinnamon & coriander & very slight oak. Similar flavors w/ very mild black pepper. Very enjoyable Joven experience.

Nose: cooked agave, black pepper, butterscotch, caramel, leather, cola, vanilla, walnut Palate: cooked agave, black pepper, butterscotch, caramel, peach, leather, cola, chocolate, walnut

I get straight butterscotch on this. Super super good.

Sweet, butterscotch flavor. Not the kind of complex tequila that I love but very good

Received a sample from agave swappers. Aroma: primarily agave, citrus zest, and cherry. Maybe some light oak notes. Taste: very light and nuanced. The balance between agave and barrel notes is great. I get lots of cooked agave, light citrus notes, barrel notes, and a nice peppery kick. Finish: short, but tasty.

Batch# J7250. Buttery agave aroma with honey and citrus. This is a nice blend and you get a little bit of everything. Some pepper, agave, vanilla, caramel, with a bit of honey and creamy butterscotch.
