I blind rated this tequila and it received top 2 of all my ratings: Aroma: cooked agave, salty, dirt, soft leather Flavor: very vegetal but a nice balance, sweet bell pepper, lemon grass Finish: long finish, flavor flow, fruity finish, love the finish, the flavor really lingers Again: Y Rec: Y Value: amazing price point - scored more points based on value.
This is a very pale straw color. Nose gives a resinous odor that reminds me of shellac. This has an easy entry with caramel notes and the taste of stone fruits. A sweet short finish hold this back.
