Aroma: black pepper, cooked agave, earth, wet grass, butter, salt brine, eucalyptus. Really nice nose. Reminds of a warm cologne in a way. Flavor: lemon zest, cooked agave, hints of vanilla and cinnamon, some minerality which reminds me of a fresh rain, and a soft vegetal finish with a lingering smoky element. The is a really nice supper. Not overly complex but still keeps you guessing. Mouth feel is very soft and leans more viscous. Almost no burn whatsoever. Very solid blanco!
Tastes old school, sweet and clean. Good value considering it’s ~500 MXN. Perfect for sipping or mixing, would recommend as a budget option easily available in Mexico.
Once I open this screw top bottle I get a nice whiff of fresh agave. After pouring a sample into my stolzle jarrito I can see the nice legs and tears. The agave scent is very pleasant. It’s clean and accompanied with a slight vegetal note, faint minerality and some subtle sweetness. There’s some crisp citrus too but mostly it’s just good clean cooked agave that’s free from any defects. - The taste is balanced with the nose. It’s full of clean agave and there’s some natural sweetness that typically follows cooked agave. The citrus is stronger on the palate than the nose and some nice pepper appears on the finish. There’s a nice alcohol tingle and some building heat. The sweetness and pepper linger but the sweetness fades first. - Overall this is a good quality blanco tequila that you can sip on but it’s bold enough that it should hold up in a cocktail nicely.

Aug 18, 2023 Tasted at monroe liquor store I was pleasantly surprised by this expression. really didn't have high expectations since it came out of NOM 1416 I enjoyed it tho I didn't get a lot of complexity and the finish was short. however, since I was sipping out of little plastic sample cups, I want to revisit from a proper tasting glass
