Tequila has come a long way from the salt, shot, and lime procedure of your college days. Tequila expert Jay Silverman sits down WSJ's Jeff Bush and teaches him how to appreciate the beverage.
Light scents of cooked agave, with notes of dried figs and garden herbs. A pleasant sweetness across the palate, with a light flavor similar to those present on the nose. The finish is a burst of fresh herbs, primarily basil, mixed with white pepper. Easily the most “herbal” of any tequila I’ve tasted, which makes it interesting.
