Nose: At first I am getting a lot of very sweet vanilla and oak. Very sweet. Then a strong punch of ethanol kicks into gear. Undertones of rubber, chlorine, and plastic are present. Palate: Weak mouth feel. Sweet alcohol from the start. Almost tastes like vodka with several sweetener packets and some vanilla extract. Very simple and sweet with a powerful alcohol presence for something so low proof. There are better options available
Smell of medicine and some agave. Very one dimensional on the nose. Similar with taste. Water finish. Not horrible but certainly no where near a good tequila. Tasted this at a Chicago airport where nothing good could be found. The other choices were not great and this one I had never rated so I picked it. Cost me $20 for a pour with tax and tip. Very expensive to rate a dog but sometimes you just want to find out.
The aroma is indeed noisome, consisting of wet cardboard, scathing alcohol that burns the nostrils orange/lemon citrus, salt, pepper, and acetone. I just could not care to smell this honestly, it didn’t induce the anxious want to taste it. The palate encountered the presence of cooked agave, lemon citrus, medicinal, butteriness, cardboard, brine, and plastic grocery store bag, which ultimately made it very difficult for me to believe that this spirit wasn’t made with a diffuser. For me to drink and rate this, was an exercise in Zen.
The aroma opens with blasting caramel, accompanied by saturated oak/wood notes and a heavy whiskey tone. There's an ethyl presence that is scathing, with an intriguing hint of pinecone. On the palate, the experience is marked by a gripping alcohol presence, pepperiness, distinct yeast funk and an overly saturated off-putting whiskey tone masking any presence of agave for me. The oak and whiskey notes cling as they fade, leaving a lingering warmth intertwined with the initial adulterated sweetness.
This one was a gift that I got and decided "what the heck, I'll give it a go!" It's got some agave, oak, minerality, black pepper and vanilla but overall it tastes like it is both diluted and has a chemical taste that has been attempted to be masked. The viscosity is light to medium and the finish tastes of oak, black pepper and regret. There appears to be heavy manipulation to this tequila that I am not a fan of. I was tickled by the gift just not the juice. It is tge thought that counts
Fresh crack is very ethanol and acetone forward with some hint of sweet vanilla. Nose: Sweet ethanol vanilla. Not much going on and i am unable to detect any agave. Sweet tart dusty candy. Palate: Thick mouth feel. Starts out with general sweetness which finishes in alcohol burn on my tongue. Cream soda, no agave. Not great. I recommend skipping this pour.
