Aroma is cooked and raw agave, black pepper, lime citrus, vegetal green notes from the raw agave. Flavor is cooked agave, honey, citrus, minerality, vegetal notes like asparagus. I think this is a solid blanco option and a bottle that can really bridge the gap for people coming over to better quality tequila from mass produced brands. I also like that all the flavors are very present but it doesn’t overwhelm the senses which jus furthers the idea that this is a great bottle for folks looking to try some good stuff and have a nice looking bottle on the bar at home.
Aroma blue agave sweet, mellow. Paladar mint, agave, sacarina, earth. Finish strong with hints of sour agave.
Agave forward nose, taste, and finish.
Aroma: Sweet floral, caramel, baking spices, oak notes Taste: Opens with a mix of floral and oak notes, follows with green herbs, olive brine, oak and caramel. A little bit harsh towards the end. Finish: Finishes with caramel, floral, baking spice notes that gets sweeter and more floral the longer it sits on the tongue. Compared to the blanco, I liked this one better as I feel the barrel notes helped balance this one out. Loses the most points in the value. Average value for me at 59.99
Aroma: Pepper, agave floral, olive brine, citrus, earth and anise. Taste: there is light cooked agave up front, but there’s a combination a sweet floral note and olive brine that quickly takes over. Finish: The floral note lasts with some mineral and green grasss/herbal notes in the finish. I think many people would probably enjoy it, could be a great introductory bottle. For me, the taste profile is not my favorite so it’s just around average value for me at $49.99

1646 A bright, clean, and very well-made blanco that puts cooked agave front and center. On the nose I get plenty of roasted agave, followed by fresh lime, grapefruit, earthy notes, fresh-cut grass, and just a crack of white pepper. The palate is layered with sweet cooked agave, lime zest, wet stone minerality, and an herbal character that reminds me of mint and rosemary. The finish is clean, crisp, and well-balanced with building black pepper, lingering citrus, and a light briny salinity that keeps you coming back for another sip. This is an easy sipper with good complexity, great agave character, and a production process that really shows in the glass.
