The aroma presents an assertive, earthy profile, opening with fresh-cut grass and petrichor layered over cooked agave’s, raisin-to-prune sweetness. Vegetal notes reminiscent of celery, sage, pine, a faint ethyl lift, touches of lightly toasted coconut, and a subtle ashy undertone. On the palate, petrichor takes command, framed by verdant notes of green pepper, oregano, thyme, celery, grassiness, and pine-cedar tones. Earthy agave is prominent, with butteriness, anise, and peppermint adding contrast. Bright citrus notes flicker and roll across the tongue, adding zest. The finish is clinging and lasting vegetal intensity, pepperiness, grassiness, freshness, and earthiness.
Too much funk/hay/vegetal for me. I thought the repo was better than the blanco because it added some complexity and aged spice.
Just incredible. So much agave flavor. Drinks like a high proof blanco.
Unique. The aroma is amazing. Drinks like a mezcal.
