Musty agave nose that follows through on the palate. Nice finish with a lingering pepper. Not bad
Tasted blind. Surprised by how much I like this one! Overall really good. Would buy it again.
Nose: Agave, Carmel, Oak, Raisin, Fig, Butter, Vanilla Mouthfeel: light to medium-bodied Palate: Cinnamon, Raisin, Dates, Oak, baking Spice, Clove, Alcohol Finish: FIG, Carmel, Dates, Oak/Barrell, Possibly a slight brine as well. This wasn't bad. I got a lot of sweet dried fruit throughout my tasting of this; Fig, Raisin and Dates all popped into mind when enjoying this. Fig especially came through on the finish. The finish felt on the short end for my liking. I would've like to pick up a bit more agave than I did as well.
I really like the nose. Agave, vanilla, caramel, cinnamon. Pulling out oak and maybe some notes from the wine barrels. Overall, this is a good nose to me. On the palate, it is sweet first and foremost. Then you get a barrel influence with oak, vanilla, caramel. I can taste the influence of the wine barrels although I don’t know enough about wine to say what it is that is peaking through. The finish could be better. It is thin and has a bit of alcohol that lingers. I do recommend this one as a nice value repo.
The aroma enters with potent honey and caramel, intertwined with bourbon/whiskey and a cooked agave raisin note. Fresh cut oak and roasted almond add depth, with a nearly indiscernible ethyl note, molasses, and a hint of spice rounding out the profile. On the palate, tropical fruit and red apple come forward, followed by black pepper and wood/oak notes. Brine and honey add complexity, while watery bourbon and roasted almond provide a nuanced sweetness. Orange citrus, caramel, clove and baking spice contribute to the overall harmony, with a touch of light-cooked sweet potato adding an earthy undertone. The finish is characterized by distinct fading brine, oak, and dried fig. A minuscule brine note lingers alongside dried red apple, subtle whiskey essence, and black tea creating a satisfying conclusion.
The process was simple, natural, and efficient enough — at least until Americans decided they liked tequila, too.
