Upon the initial inhale, there was a perceptible surge of pepperiness, sour wine notes, and ethyl, creating an intriguing albeit bold introduction. However, with a bit of aeration, the aromatic profile transforms, revealing distinct nuances of white wine, pineapple sweetness, accompanied by tanginess and the delicious scent of yellow apples. The presence of sweet cooked agave, soft ethyl, and subtle lactic notes further intrigues. The tasting journey unfurls with the delightful straightforwardnes of sweet agave that mirrors the fruity essence of pineapple. A interplay of sour grassiness, honey, alcohol, white wine, white pepper, soft sweet yellow apples, and a pleasant plum note contribute to the overall flavor profile. Unexpectedly, a delicious freshness emerges, enhancing the tasting experience. The finish gracefully fades with echoes of pineapple, grassiness, refreshing notes, and the enduring essence of sweet agave. A slightly non-offensive pepper note adds a nuanced complexity, while minute traces of brine contribute to the overall subtlety. The finish culminates in a delightful mouth-watering white wine sensation, making the entire experience thoroughly enjoyable to me. For the price, this delivers

Bargain for its price $20 Value Joven in the market and works great to be an introductory expressions to anyone exploring tequila. Flavor profile does it job in providing the singularity of a blended blanco and an aged expression.

Nose: Vanilla and a touch of butterscotch right up front, cooked agave hiding behind it. Also getting a touch of pineapple rind, which is interesting. Definitely a green/grassy note. Not bad, but overall a little thin. Palate: Cooked agave is there but hidden behind the vanilla and very light. There’s definitely some baking spice and cinnamon, some spicy notes. Very thin mouthfeel, the flavor dissipates quickly and the finish is short. Overall:This really isn’t bad, and I think for softer cocktails that aren’t too tequila forward, it will probably be great. I imagine it makes a good margarita. But overall, something is missing, it’s just lacking that depth of flavor that I really want. The flavor is great, the sweetness is nice, but it feels like it’s missing that punch to take it over the edge. I get the impression that a still strength expression would be really damn good, or even if they bumped it up to 43-46% abv. It really does hit a lot of good notes for me, which makes it almost frustrating. I want to love this, but it’s just lacks that agave boldness that I’m craving. I’d still recommend it as a decent budget mixer, I’m gonna be making a margarita with it right now, but definitely you can do better.
