I'm always on the look out for brands of 100% agave juice for under $20. Don Cosme fit the bill. I'd never heard of it before, but I figured that the bottle looked cool enough and the price was right...so why not?
NOM 1426 | *After letting this aerate for a few days, the strong acetone aroma/taste is more subdued. The opening carries wood, caramel, citrus, and a sweetness reminiscent of sarsaparilla, and a noticeable ethyl presence. On the palate, caramel leads with a fleeting jab of butter before cooked agave and orange/lime citrus emerge. Anise, pepper, and the same acetone thread detected in the blanco weave themselves into the añejo. A gripping wood tone anchors the profile, layered with consistent petrichor, crème brûlée reminisce, and a firm touch of barrel spice. The finish lingers with fading yet persistent wood, orange citrus, and light grassiness, while the petrichor clings.
