Nose: Agave, Pear, Vanilla, Green Apple, Melon, Banana, Anise, Hay, Yeast Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, oily Palate: Banana, Pear, Coconut, Smoke Vanilla, Honey dew Melon Finish: Vanilla, Cream Soda, Agave, Pear, Melon, Hint of Vegetal This was a flavor bomb. I got a lot of fruit and a lot of creamy notes on this one. Strong nose, palate, and finish. I tried this AFTER trying the Especial Alto Grande (different occasions) and I must say, although I enjoy the high proof a little bit more, the two are closer in ranks than I would've guessed! Salud!
N- agave, herbs, olives, orange, grass, and a little vegetal T- Cooked agave, black pepper, olive brine, oregano, mint, malo funk, citrus fruits MF- thin F- surprisingly low heat. Medium in length and a little spearmint lingers V- I had to have it shipped but it was still worth it. Another banger from Sergio
Another winner from 1414. This is a value tequila that punches above its weight class. In the nose I get agave and vegetal notes. There is a minerality that shines through from the deep well water. I get a little brine and pepper. Maybe a touch of smoke, something Sergio Cruz is known to do. On the palate, a nice cooked agave sweetness minerality shines through along with anise. A touch fruity and also butter. Maybe a hint of pineapple. The finish is very good with the mouthfeel maybe a little thin but the lingering agave is a very nice touch. I do recommend this one for sure This is a very easy drinker and one I would recommend to those getting in to the artisan tequila scene.
