Probably need to try this again, but had it in a blind and wasn’t a fan at all.

Aroma: 21 Bright lush white pepper jumps out of the bottle and glass. Very green, light and bright. Wet grass, olive, celery and basil. Lemon citrus with mild orange peel. Nice nose Palate: 24 Starts off a little constricted. Light mouth feel and texture. Mild agave, very clean and fresh. Has a youthful taste. The green from the aroma does not translate to the palate very much. As it continues to open up, the rich agave starts to shine through. Finish: 21 Fairly hefty finish. Good duration, feel, with a pleasant warming heat. Value: 8 $20 bottle in San Francisco (normally $30)

The aroma is cooked agave with a hint of black pepper and a smaller touch of lime. The flavor profile goes throughout the product. The finish is that of an easy drinker/sipper which tequila drinkers of all experiences can enjoy. 2 other comments…..1, Set aside the mini-controversy of the use of a diffuser. This is an enjoyable tequila at a good price. 2, I don’t get the anise that a few reviewers mentioned. Anise can be such a divisive flavor, this is a time to not let that review dissuade you.

This is a controversial tequila that caused quite a buzz because of the ratings it got on a TMM blind. The big problem with the general tequila community is that it is diffuser juice Well partially. They do use a Tahona and also ferment with and without fibers. It has a nice nose with cooked agave and citrus, specifically lime. It actually has a bouquet of various Italian spices. On the palate, it is nice and sweet with pepper. Again, citrus comes through. A bit fruity. A touch of alcohol on the finish. Yes, I would recommend this and would absolutely drink it again.

Not bad for the price, it’s a good mixer alternative
