Not barrel heavy on the nose and easy going palate. Doesn’t thrill me

Aroma: Honey/Oak/Carmel/Vanilla/Clove/Cinnamon, not getting much agave, mostly barrel notes. Mouthfeel: light to moderate thickness. Flavor: On the palate, its oak and smoke. Finish: butterscotch, molases, black pepper I preferred the reposado over this. The barrel notes seem to completely mute the agave.

Nose: earth / minerals / olive / hint of agave / hint of green apple / orange peel / lemongrass/ hint of lavender/ alcohol Taste: sweet agave cooked / cinnamon/ vanilla/ peppermint / hint of apple and fruit / lime & orange / other citrus / licorice/ peppermint/ hint of cream soda Finish: very light viscous mouthfeel/ sweet agave-licorice tastes are in some level of balance with the cinnamon-peppermint notes / lingering sweetness that is refreshing and ends on a minty flavor. This blanco HP is quite tasty, though the nose is weak. At 45% abv, this HP hides the alcohol very well behind a huge sweetness that is agave snd licorice flavors. The overall taste is good and thoroughly enjoyable especially if you like a sweet/cinnamon pepper profile. Nice job El Mexicano!

I get a bit of Agave cooked and raw but a VERY full and deep Grapefruit on the nose as well as some grass and black pepper. on the lighter end as far as the body goes. On the palate and finish, I am getting salty brinyness, black pepper and cooked agave, and a tad bit of minerality. This was by no means bad, but it didn't blow me away either. When it comes to El Mexicano, I think I'm slightly more partial to the aged expressions.
