Nose: Cooked agave comes through first, but it’s quickly joined by sharp ethanol and a stony minerality. Bright lemon sits on top, edging into a pine cleaner note that gives the nose a distinctly chemical tilt rather than a fresh citrus one. Palate & Mouthfeel: The palate opens with agave and a well water minerality, followed by lemon and that same pine cleaner character. The mouthfeel is thin yet slick, with a buttery texture underneath, and an unexpectedly floral lift. Cinnamon shows up, adding warmth but not enough to pull it back into balance. Finish: The finish leans chemical, with lingering citrus, herbal notes, and cinnamon, followed by a touch of black pepper. It dries out toward the end, leaving a slightly chalky impression on the palate. Final Thoughts: This one carries a chemical edge from nose to finish. While the citrus keeps it bright, the cleaner-like notes dominate the experience. It’s not for me.

Nose: The agave comes through first but shares space with a layer of oak and a sweep of vanilla and caramel. There’s a dusty, almost musty edge that sits beneath it, and the alcohol shows itself more than I’d prefer, pushing the aromas into sharper territory. Palate & Mouthfeel: It lands slick and light, bringing agave forward before shifting into something that feels like pool water - an unmistakable chlorine like note that never quite settles. The oak is present along with a chemical citrus astringency that keeps pulling attention and works against the rest of the profile. Finish: A bit of spice shows up, but that same chemical aftertaste hangs on longer than anything else and becomes the final impression. Final Thoughts: This one just doesn’t come together for me. The sharper, chemical tones dominate. Not a fan.

TMM blind – Aroma: agave, a bit of mint, then floral and minerality each trade-off. Flavor: agave, pepper, mint. Nice finish that lingers.

AMM Blind Tasting: Aroma: green veggies, melon, cooked agave sweetness, some lemon rind, and a hint of mint. Decent nose. Palate: cooked agave sweetness, black pepper, hint of artichoke, hint of mint, decent body. Finish: easy sipper not much burn, a little peppery. Nothing overly remarkable, but good not too complex.

Tasted blind via AMM: Nice fresh floral citrus aroma. Flavors follow with some bitter citrus rind and a nice tingly finish. Flavor doesn’t quite hold up as well as the aroma but I’ll drink more of this.

Bright nose with some barrel notes. Funky palate don’t love
