Nose: Cooked agave, olive brine, green pepper, faint nutmeg Taste: Closely follows the nose, cooked agave, olive brine, green pepper and some light floral notes Finish: a little bitter, green notes of olive and pepper, with some light floralness continue I don’t know that I’d be very quick to recommend this one over other options that you can find at a lower price point.
AMM Blind Tasting: Nose is buttery with hints of burnt caramel, toffee, brown sugar, sweet baked bread. A nice color (med-brown) with some cooked agave and wood. Palate is medium bodied with decent heat, woody (dry) with hints of toffee and chocolate. Not overly complex. A nice, easy drinking finish with some hints of vanilla.
AMM Blind. This one received the highest score of 25 for aroma, amazingly clean agave! Aroma is light oak, baking spice, and Granny Smith apple. Finish is a little thin but pleasant.
Light cooked agave, alcohol, raisin and oak on the nose. The taste is high in alcohol. Nice mouth feel on the finish.
Caramel, cinnamon and prunes on the nose. Bitter sweet, tangy dry fruit flavor. Mild bitter finish.
