On the nose, so much in your face agave. Minerals. Citrus rind, grapefruit. Herbal. Very good. On the palate, that agave punch really comes through. A touch more vegetal than the lot 1, but also warmer. A bit of cinnamon, some ripe fruit but not overripe funk. I’m really torn between this and lot 1. The original had a little bit of a better nose for me, bur I think I prefer the taste on this second lot. Either way, this is exceptional. Truly amazing craftsmanship. King of the valle for me.

On the nose, a soft agave hit. The barest hint of barrel, saline and cinnamon. Some vanilla. On the palate, a much more rounded agave than the blancos. Minerals, very light barrel. Maybe some pepper, and a little bit of cinnamon. Overall, this is exquisite. Truly one of my favorite brands right now.

LOTE270 050822 RESTED 10 MINUTES N- Whoa. an initial blast of alcohol but then poof it's gone. Black pepper, agave, olive, stewed fruit, briny minerality, a touch floral. T- Peppery heat, quickly dissipating alcohol, jalapeno, black pepper, dill, mint, overripe mango, and a little funk. So good and dangerous at 100 proof. MF- Medium which is impressive for the proof F- Long lasting mango sweetness and some delicious black pepper heat V- This was a gift from a friend and it's not available in Michigan but if I purchased online I'd still occasionally pay for this treat. The regular Blanco is great and this version is even better!
