Sweet cooked agave right away, pretty forward. Behind that, a lot of green character like fresh herbs, damp earth, and a light salty note that keeps it from feeling too rich. A touch of mint lifts it up. Palate & Mouthfeel: Light texture, but the flavor hits hard. Sweet agave comes in first, then a big wave of raw, green vegetal notes takes over and really drives it. It’s assertive with crushed herbs, leafy intensity, and a peppery spice layered over a steady mineral core. There’s an anise note underneath that adds a little depth, but this is mostly about that bold, green profile pushing through. Finish: Clean and lasting. The vegetal and herbal notes hang on the longest, backed by that mineral edge, while the sweetness drops off. Final Thoughts: This leans into a louder, greener profile than most. The sweetness pulls you in, but the palate is where it really opens up and shows its character. Not for everyone, but if you like bold, vegetal tequilas - this delivers big time.
Sweetness on the nose with a little herbal / vegetal. Pretty easy to nose. Definitely loud on the palate, starts off buzzing but pretty nice. Finish calms down pretty quick. I like it. Sample Provided by Agave Swappers for Review
On the nose: vegital and cooked agave explosion! It’s so sweet and yet full of vegital notes. It has a salty mierality to it as well that reminds of the rainforest floor. On the pallet: the vegital notes and cooked agave notes are really strong. It’s minty, salty, floral, There’s an anise note that rides the bottom and lasts long into the finish. Overall: this is a really fun and complex tequila! I love innovation without sacrificing process and this bottle does just that. There are some notes, reminiscent of my favorite bottles of raicilla but overall it is still full on tequila flavors with that cooked agave driving. From the price point, to the bottle design, to the tequila itself, this is a no-brainer for anyone that loves interesting and unique express expressions of tequila!
