aroma and flavor aren't very deep or complex. cooked agave, pepper and alcohol are predominant on both. certainly holds up in a cocktail, especially at the low price point. not as a sipper though
Alcoholic and medicinal nose. In the mouth there's really mellow agave and some alcohol, although the finish seems clean enough. Even though I got this for $15, it's definitely doesn't have the best value because you'd be MUCH better off picking up a 1L bottle of Cimarron for $20, or maybe a bottle of Arette if you happen to be on a budget.
I had been buying this for Bloody Marias when Exotico wasn't available at Total Wine. This is terrible straight up and tastes of evidence of rumors of bulk Tequila being purchased and bottled. If this isn't straight diffuser it has a healthy amount incorporated. I joked afterward I needed some Jose Cuervo Especial to get the taste out of my mouth.
Nose: Barrel spices, caramel, black pepper, vanilla and fruit. Flavors: Cloves, cinnamon red hots, and vanilla. A little thin, but tasty. Finish has a tiny off taste and some bitter notes. This a great bargain brand from a good house. Mexican release is 38% and costs $150 pesos! Note: This rating is a few years old. The Legado currently on the shelves needs a revisit. I fear production methods have changed on Legado. Some flavors on this tequila now suggest diffuser in the process. So sad.
Lou thinks you should think about this one as an affordable mixing tequila.
