This one is earthy with cinnamon, pepper and anise. Not as thick or sweet as some but a nice over proof. You will definitely get some burn with this one though.

Horno-2023-3 Nose: The nose opens with a deep wave of cooked agave. Anise and peppermint add a cool, sharp edge, while citrus brings a bright lift. There’s a floral note tucked in there, soft and fragrant, balanced by a peppery kick that hints at the bold profile waiting underneath. Palate & Mouthfeel: Slick but thin on the palate, the texture actually complements the bold spice that follows. Cooked agave leads the charge, followed by a rush of pepper and anise that lights things up. It’s bright, warm, and unapologetically spicy. A touch of pine sneaks in, maybe more herbaceous than resinous, adding a green, fresh layer. The citrus reappears just enough to keep things lifted and balanced. Finish: The finish is long, spicy, and fully saturated with agave. It’s persistent without being overwhelming, and the spice lingers. Final Thoughts: Bold, bright, and deeply rooted in agave, this is one for those who like their tequila expressive and a little fiery.

thank you to Cody lundquist for the sample. I enjoyed this expression. immediately, I got fruit, chocolate, alcohol and yeast on the nose. the palate was similar. I also got a strong presence of chocolate, agave and earthy notes with mild alcohol and pepper on the finish. rated 87 pts 10/2024 tasted blind in the TMM high-proof blinds rated 88 pts adusting rating to 88
