Light aroma of cooked agave and grass. Flavor of cooked agave and black pepper. Medium finish.

Old school, agave forward, a tad too boozy for anytime consumption but this brand has a special place in my heart!

Nose: Fruit, floral and agave nose. Trace cinnamon and mint. A little smokiness. Flavor: Heavy hit of pepper on the palate with some sweet agave, and a hint of vanilla and anise. Vegetal and grassy. Just no focused flavors coming through. Finish: Medium pepper burn and bitterness.

This tequila started well for me but lost me on the finish. Nose- agave, sweetness with herbal, grassy notes. Alcohol not overbearing. Palate- very sweet, agave forward followed by an acidic, metallic taste…. It becomes a little bitter but I pick up some pepper mid plate to the finish. I would say medium to medium-thin mouthfeel. But then acidic quality persists. Finish is medium to long. agave is there but then becomes unbalanced to me. It fades into a lingering bitter coating on my tongue . Not the notes I want to end on.

Really smooth, not to peppery but has a little spice. Great easy drinking Blanco.

It’s a nice blanco, not a special one. A little ethanol on the nose, nice agave, a slight bit harsh on the finish. Overall a pretty tasty sipper.

Seems like a very common tequila swing. Alcohol doesn't feel strong, so it may be for beginners.

The aroma is cooked agave and grass. I can almost get a preview of the mouthfeel because I sense water. The mouthfeel is watery with some more agave and pepper. The finish is short leaving a bit of lip tingling if you let this linger. There is some late burn mid chest. I was not an immediate fan but by the 3rd sip it opened a bit and I appreciate what it is. It has more agave than I originally gave it credit for. I like the more agave. From a distillery that can make a good product ( Excellia/Flecha) and also makes some poor juices (names not important). This would be a mid level product. I have a coworker who would love to shoot this. (He’s a barbarian) It may be your favorite (because you are classier than my friend). Worth a try but I think you will grow past this.

Great vegetal agave right in the aromas. Along with some citrus. The taste has a pepper heat with cooked agave and some earthiness. It finishes with a buttery vanilla citrus.

Aroma: grassy agave. Slightly sweet and white pepper. Very tasteful. Agave Lingering finish but smooth down the throat.

There is a vegetal aroma which is not what I expected. Can’t decide if I like it. Same aroma is present in the flavor, but I can’t name it. Feels good. Little agave pepper there. The finish is easy, light alcohol burn, aroma still there. Wish I could say differently, but don’t think I’d recommend it or buy it again. At least it’s clearly not sweetened or any of those shenanigans.
