Gonna be up front here. I did not really expect to like this tequila. Fancy bottle, celebrity owned. So you may wonder why I bought it. Dak Prescott and I come from the same little town in Louisiana he’s the QB for the football team I have loved since the late 1960s. It was purely an emotional purchase. The one thing that I thought it may have going for it is that is came from the same distillery as Chamucos and I really like that tequila. Tasted out of a Glencarin with a Cowboys logo on the side. Right off the bat I get that malolactic nose. Not to the level of Chamucos but it’s there and of course I like it. A nice swirl brings out the agave. This is earthy and has a nice minerality. I get a bit of fresh baked bread. On the palate sweet agave comes first. I get jalapeño pepper, lowlands earthiness. Mint and citrus. Cinnamon for sure. A touch of alcohol on the finish. Malolactic on the palate is faint but there. For me, that’s a good thing. I’m pleasantly surprised by the quality of this tequila. This is a $60 tequila in a very nice looking bottle (reminds me of Volcan’s tall bottles). I could easily serve this to tequila friends and would expect they would like it
In my personal opinion the blanco has a lot more character I feel like the barrel took away from the robust agave flavors that I got. I mean it’s not bad but I can tell you it is buttery smooth and simple on the side of complexity. This would be a 1942 killer for those average consumers you want something that will go down easy.
Very earthy, cloves, baking spices, oak-y for Reposado.
Sweet earthiness, mineral notes. Don't get citrus fruits. Website is terrible, won't let you read about products without a shipping zip code.
