good value. easy sipper. not complex and also not offensive. would have rated a little higher but for the slightly bitter finish
Nose: Vanilla / caramel/ butter / melon / tea / nutmeg / honey / molasses / coffee/ cream soda Taste: oak/ agave / vanilla / butter / caramel / banana / lime / mint / tea / nutmeg / light baking spice / hint of chocolate/ molasses / cream soda Finish: light viscosity / lingering vanilla and baking spice notes / super quick finish / easy and smooth but no lingering enjoyment This anejo is enjoyable, though it lacks a lot of ‘bang’. Simple smooth and easy to drink…this anejo I would recommend to someone new on their journey who wants something smooth.
tasted from a sample sent to me by an agave swapper! aka Matt C subtle mint anise red fruit minerality. gets better as it opens up. mild agave with a touch of bitterness on the finish. I like the nose better than taste. it's decent.
Vessel: Glencairn, Chisholm Trail Jarrito Nose: Agave, Oak, Maple, Carmel, Vanilla Mouthfeel: light to medium bodied. Palate: Pepper, Butterscotch Finish: Vanilla, Oak, Almond, Sweetness The 3rd and last El Bandido Yankee expression that I've tried. EBY seems to be a spirit that does not stand out with it's basic blanco but I've found that they have become increasingly more complex with barrel aging. I found this to be more enjoyable than I expected but I also could've used a bit less sweetness.
Crisp & bright blanco that is a great price point & perfect for an example of a well made tequila & has versatility for cocktails.
An estimated 70 percent of all tequila contains undisclosed additives, like vanilla extract and aspartame. One couple is on a mission to change that.
Aroma: cooked agave, white pepper, citrus, cinnamon, honey, floral, vanilla. Mouthfeel: Buttery with sufficient alcohol. Flavor: agave sweetness, lemon, white pepper, light anise, melon, herbal. Finish: Medium with the lemon and melon notes becoming more pronounced. White pepper tingle lingers. Overall impression is another nice PKGD Group offering with great price point, not crazy complex, but checks the boxes for an easy clean sipper. Good pour for parties and when you want to drink and not think.
