Final review of the Don Cosme line. The entire line has been kind of a ho hum experience. I'd love to tell you that it's a gem for under $20, but the anejo and blanco haven't qualified for that designation.
NOM 1426 | The aroma greets with an intriguing musty leather funk, followed by layers of caramel, banana, whiskey, and oak, enriched by roasted almond and a light touch of pine. Despite the potent alcohol presence, it remains balanced, offering cocoa and fruity undertones that round out the complexity. On the palate, whiskey, caramel, and vanilla come forward, accompanied by roasted nuts and a warming alcohol spice that clings pleasantly to the tongue. Cinnamon and a light orange citrus provide a bright contrast to the deeper notes of cocoa, clove, and cooked agave’s raisin essence. There’s a delightful blend of tangy, fruity, and cider-like tones that keep the profile lively. The finish is soft, leaving behind light cider and oak, with fading cocoa, tanginess, and a gentle trace of cooked agave that lingers satisfyingly.
