Quite closed off on the nose compared to other blanco’s in the flight. This is a very rustic, earthy nose with rocks, gravel, mulch, mint, intense black pepper, pumpkin, and a lactic character. On the palate is anise, bell pepper, vegetal notes, rocks, lactic, cinnamon, pumpkin, black pepper and licorice notes. This is an austere blanco, one that I enjoy quite a lot actually. It’s challenging and unique with a real grungey character. The nose opens up with a bit of airtime and the palate has a nice interplay between the bitter earthy notes and sweet cinnamon spice/pumpkin notes. Additionally, the arrival is viscous with a nice finish.

There’s a lot going on with the aroma here. First a blast of caramel/vanilla, which makes me think these agaves are very well cooked. But then the aroma evolves, and the top of the glass is a lot different than the bottom. Top: cooked agave and licorice. Bottom: eucalyptus and vegetal (like raw green bell pepper). Definitely let this open up! Flavor is slight vanilla, anise, and agave. Finish: sharp, dry, kinda short. This is a real/rustic tequila that shows another side of agave not commonly found.
Blind tasting via AMM: Loads of fruit overpowering this one. Aromas and flavors deliver cantaloupe and banana. It’s got a nice long spicy finish. Extra points for value.
