Loads of agave, loads of citrus, black pepper and slight vegetal bitterness on the palette It’s has some slight heat on the backend nuttiness and mint the more it sits in the palette
Aroma: 21/25 Tasted in a rocks glass so please take this with a grain of salt. Cooked agave with an earthy undertone. Some orange peel and herbal characteristics. Good but ethanol does emerge, which I attribute to glass. Palate: 28/30 Holy cooked agave vanilla decadence! This is really dang good. While it’s not the most complex, it is fantastic. Finish: 20/25 Good but very short finish Value: 6/10 Not great, but a quality pour
Popcorn buttery nose. It get agave. Very sweet nose. Coconut. This taste okay but it has a vodka like taste more than tequila.
