Peppery, citric, cooked and raw agave

If there were no better options then yes I would drink again

Nose: Caramel apple pie right out of the gate. Once it opens up, it shifts from pie to juice - more tart, sugary apple with a processed edge. There’s oak and citrus in the mix, along with baking spice, and just a whisper of cooked agave if you’re really looking for it. Palate & Mouthfeel: Nice oiliness, good coat. Unlike the nose, the agave shows up early here - cooked and earthy - before the barrel notes take over. Cinnamon, black pepper, and that same sweet apple show up again, but now it’s caramel dipped and leaning more juicy than tart. A little one note, but not flat. Finish: Warm baking spice carries through, with lingering oak. The sweetness drops off, leaving more barrel than agave. Final Thoughts: Hard to say definitively, but I’d be very surprised if there aren’t additives here. The nose and finish have that overly polished, slightly synthetic feel. That said, it’s not bad - doesn’t come off as cloying or overly doctored. It’s not complex, but the flavor profile is accessible and checks a few boxes for an Añejo.
