El Rey is a smooth, very drinkable tequila from the legendary distillery, Cascahuin. It is done the right way, cooked in a horno for 72 hours and using traditional methods of distilling and fermentation. The nose is sweet, but not artificial, as is the flavor. Its herbaceous and vegetal with notes of black pepper, anise, and cut green grass, with a finish of olive brine. It has a bit of a “bite,” in a good way, that reminds you are drinking a pure juice without additives.
