Overripe vegetation and earthy aroma, flavor and finish are aggressively bracing, acetone on the finish but it goes so quickly you hardly notice. Need to revisit this one with food pairings, I might be writing it off prematurely.
Volcán de mi Tierra - Reposado This Reposado is created with 100% Highland (Los Altos) agaves! The tequila is then aged for 135 days, which is just over two months, in new American and European oak. It has a rich nose. I smell the cooked agave, baking spices, orange citrus oil and oak. I taste cooked agave, orange bitters and the caramelized topping from crème brûlée. There is a peppery alcohol tingle on the mid pallete. The flavors linger on the finish due to its nice viscosity. This is a powerful Reposado and it’s one I’d recommend you trying. I’m not accustomed to European oak so I’m getting some notes I’m not used to. Salud!
I smell sweet agave, celery and a light vegetal note. The notes are light but clean. I taste green agave along with some sweet fruit and then white pepper. The finish has a nice alcohol tingle and peppery finish. This is a nice clean and pleasant blanco.
Yet again I’m faced with a cristalino devoid of any semblance of agave! Sharp alcohols drive the bus the entire time, it’s really not pleasant.
