Rated blind. good reposado with smoky notes.
Rated blind for MBTC 2018.
Nose is heavy on the caramel, no agave detected, i think i get a hint of cloves. The taste starts with a water down caramel, a little peppery, finishes with a sweet alcohol taste.
interesting non tequila nose. aroma is vanilla, caramel, and something else that is sweet that I cannot place. flavor is as the aroma indicates. I know it has additives but they seem muted. finish is simply the same that lingers on the pallet. very one dimensional.
$16 pour. I got a whiff of diffuser funk on the nose at first but it seemed to go away after a couple minutes. This drinks more like an añejo than a reposado, the generic oaky/spicy notes drown out all the agave. Maybe there’s a pinch of smoke here? Not as much as I would expect from an earthen pit as they claim. I’m also left with a sticky feeling on my lips/glass which isn’t a good sign, although it’s an agave distillate so additives might be the norm (I’m not sure). This seems pretty overpriced for what it is.
Wife says it smells ok, not bad lol
