Tequila Matchmaker Premium Brand
on the nose I get a nice minerality from the Deep well water. cooked agave by the boatloads and hints if vanilla and chocolate. nice grassiness and some fruitiness as well. on tasting I get a nice oily creamy mouthfeel with loads of cooked agave up front with some grapefruit fruitiness followed by vanilla and caramel. there a little bit of a bite on this one but it's not bothersome at all. I love the taste of this and it has a nice complexity to it. definitely will buy this again and again.
Aroma : Cooked agave, earth and minerals predominate. I also get notes of pickle and vanilla. Taste : Cooked agave, earth and minerals. Vanilla and olives. There is some sweetness here but it isn't overpowering in any way. Finish : Long and prolongs the same flavor notes, with a little more emphasis on the earth and minerals. This has lots of great flavors, and the light sweetness works with the earth and minerals to give a nice profile. This is probably my favorite Blanco of the big 3 NOM 1579 brands.
Great aroma. Fruity. Great bite. Nothing overall impressive afterwards but definitely enjoyable. Good Anejo.
light agave light oak spice pepper cinnamon. slightly sweet nice long finish
