Nose: Distinct and layered - buttered popcorn right up front, grounded by earth and olive. Citrus and vegetal notes bring freshness, while agave and subtle herbal tones tie it all together with depth and character. Palate & Mouthfeel: Medium in body with a slick texture. Citrus and agave open things up, followed by a strong herbal and vegetal core. Hints of cinnamon, wintergreen, white pepper, and butter add both warmth and contrast, keeping it lively from start to finish. Finish: Lightly tannic with lingering vegetal and earthy tones. Balanced but with a rustic edge. Final Thoughts: Layered, complex, and full of personality. It’s a a fun, distinctive profile that feels very true to Chato’s style.

Nose: Opens with a distinct buttered popcorn note that quickly settles into earth and olive. Bright citrus lifts the profile while vegetal and herbal tones underscore the core of agave, creating an intriguing mix of warmth and freshness. Palate & Mouthfeel: The texture is medium with a light slickness, carrying citrus driven agave at the front. Vegetal flavors lean strongly herbal, joined by a touch of cinnamon and a cool wintergreen edge. White pepper sharpens before a gentle buttery quality returns to balance it all out. Finish: A touch tannic with earth and vegetal tones lingering, the close is grounded and slightly rustic, pulling back from the brightness of the palate. Final Thoughts: Layered and complex, this tequila delivers a profile that’s both savory and refreshing. The interplay of butter, earth, and herbal notes makes for a distinctive sip - one of those fun, unique profiles that the Chato reliably brings to the table.

Pretty wild stuff here! On the nose it smells like Parmesan cheese, a little anise, mint…it’s all over the place but it’s awesome. Palate I get sweet cooked agave, honey, herbs, tons of green veggies. Finish is funky, delicious with black pepper and a hint of sweetness. Highly recommend for the experienced agave spirits drinker!
