Agave on the nose with citrus and earth. I get vanilla, herbal and butter. I get some fruit, maybe banana. On the palate, sweet agave, vanilla and black pepper. I get earthy notes with minerals and vegetal tones. It is a bit grassy. Definitely some alcohol. This is a decent tequila but nothing special.
Vessel: Chisholm Trail Jarrito Nose: Vanilla Extract, Oak, Floral, Smoke, Cinnamon Body: Light-Bodied Palate: Smoke, Oak, Honey, Citrus, baking spices Finish: Artificial Orange, Carmel, Black Pepper, Smoke I felt like this lacked a depth for me. The vanilla was very strong and had a alcohol aroma on the back end. I got robust spices and an artificial orange taste on the finish.
Very sweet with strong overtones of anise and agave. Alcohol overpowers at first but calms down if you let it open up
Nose: Agave, citrus, black pepper, vegetal notes, and some sott of overpowering sweetness Mouthfeel: Extremely light bodied, very thin, almost like water Flavor/Finish: Agave, Heavy Anise, Lime, and an uncanny sweetness that is not dissimilar to Stevia.. I have to be honest. I am not a fan of this one at all. The sweetness is just overpowering. I expected more from this spirit.
Here are 6 tequilas to impress any tequila fan, geek, snob, or nerd.
We gave it this nickname when we noticed that women at our #tequila tasting events were drinking so much of it that they were “killing the bottle.”
Update: I tried to be open about the sweetness but after a few nights and a few side by side comparisons, my rating changed from 80 to current. Aroma is with pronounced anise, distinct sweetness indicative of this NOM, vanilla, scathing ethyl, and a lift of citrus. Palate: Peppermint and anise lead the entry, followed by a savory snap of salinity. Kiwi–lemon citrus brightens the mid-palate while plum and subtle berry add variety. A measured crack of pepper provides challenge without overwhelming the fruit, while the same constant overt sweetness, which is indicative of this NOM, stands out. Finish: Medium in length, with clinging cooked agave, saline, and pepper.
