Sampling an old 2011 vintage. It’s just ok. Fruity floral nose. Tastes sweet with some agave but with an astringent note and aftertaste.

Nice nose with agave and whiskey. Caramel and vanilla. A little licorice and chocolate. On the palate sweet agave. Whiskey, vanilla and caramel. I also get a touch of alcohol even though this is low ABV. I like it and would recommend it.

Bottle: LT-E 0CW-03, 21-ENE-23, 10:56 Appearance: Clear Nose: Cooked agave, fruity, banana, vanilla, flowers, lavender, cinnamon, mint, cream soda, citrus, lime, herbal, rosemary, anise, and black pepper…nice opening Palate: Cooked agave, black and white pepper, hot cinnamon candies, vanilla, citrus, lime, menthol, coconut, flowers, lavender, dry earth, almond, brine/salinity, and clove…a bit more robust than the nose Finish: Vanilla, black pepper, cinnamon, alcohol, and clove…long, tongue-numbing, and medium viscosity Overall: The neck pour was initially pretty sweet. After working through part of the bottle, some more complex flavors developed and the sweetness balanced out. If you’re looking for a tequila that does a good job of introducing some complexity without being unapproachable in the $30-$40 range, this does a really decent job.
