Instead of sampling tequila in its birthplace, I reached out to six of the top tequila experts in Mexico to unearth their favorites.
Nose: Oh WOW! Gigantic ripe fruit immediately assaults your senses. Then big agave and unobtrusive hints of oak. Next a pleasant dry pungent nuance, licorice, vanilla and a slight lactic note. This all works flawlessly and delivers complexity and a silky roundness. Flavor: Ripe berries, peaches, cinnamon, cloves and allspice. Oiliness, anise, honey and pepper. Huge reverence is shown to the agave. This is a must have tequila. Muchísimas gracia G&S.
