Aroma que me recuerda a medicina, de esas que tienen mucha azúcar. Algunas notas de cereza. En boca destaca un ligero picor debido al alcohol, para después dar paso a un sabor a caramelo o azúcar nada propia del agave. En su conjunto, un producto que me sabe muy artificial.

This is the most artificial of the 3. Nose and taste are extremely sweet, that cupcake frosting of the blanco intensifies to 11. Mouthfeel is the same across all 3.
Very artificial oily mouthfeel (like glycerin). Sweet nose (like cupcake frosting) but with a harsh alcohol note. More drinkable than many cristalinos I’ve tried but not by much.
