“The bouquet alone tells you it is something special. The sip is smooth but bursts out flavor that has little burn and envelopes your taste buds. The cost is a bit high for my usual budget but it reminds you that this is an excellent tequila to share with good friends and family. Using it as a mixer feels like a sin but I imagine it would make some amazing drinks.”

“The bouquet is so unique. The hints of black pepper are clear but there is a floral body that is not sweet but provides a silky feel that is smooth with little burn. It took me a couple of tries but it is worth getting for its stand alone flavor qualities and smooth finish.”

“Bouquet is pleasant but sweet. Flavor also shared a sweet palate almost like an ice pop or a creamsicle. As a gift for someone that likes Tequila and likes sweet drinks, this would be a nice option to get them.”

“Initial feel is smooth and then hits with alcohol burn. Flavors feel artificial and hard to detect. Almost fruity, not earthy, maybe a syrupy flavor akin to vanilla. This works as a mixer but on its own is something you grab cuz you finished the other bottle ”

“Earthy nose is balanced by not striking with alcohol burn but is not drinkable on its own. Debating keeping for pure cheap mixer or pouring down the sink.”
