Green agave with notes of
Pretty wild stuff here! On the nose it smells like Parmesan cheese, a little anise, mint…it’s all over the place but it’s awesome. Palate I get sweet cooked agave, honey, herbs, tons of green veggies. Finish is funky, delicious with black pepper and a hint of sweetness. Highly recommend for the experienced agave spirits drinker!
Mild aromas of Oak, cooked agave, earth, and minerals The taste profile follows the same path as the aroma with the addition of cinnamon and barrel spices A creamy consistency with a lingering finish
Not a fan. Funky for my palate
Nose: Funky and bold right out of the glass, with that distinct cheesy malolactic note leading the way. Cooked agave comes through strong, backed by fresh grass and a bright citrus snap that keeps it lively. Palate: Rich and buttery. Sweet agave dominates, layered with juicy, overripe pineapple and a solid hit of black pepper. It’s complex, but nothing feels overworked—just well done. Finish: Long, peppery, and satisfying. The green apple note at the end cuts through the warmth perfectly, leaving a clean, refreshing finish.

Nose: Opens with a distinct buttered popcorn note that quickly settles into earth and olive. Bright citrus lifts the profile while vegetal and herbal tones underscore the core of agave, creating an intriguing mix of warmth and freshness. Palate & Mouthfeel: The texture is medium with a light slickness, carrying citrus driven agave at the front. Vegetal flavors lean strongly herbal, joined by a touch of cinnamon and a cool wintergreen edge. White pepper sharpens before a gentle buttery quality returns to balance it all out. Finish: A touch tannic with earth and vegetal tones lingering, the close is grounded and slightly rustic, pulling back from the brightness of the palate. Final Thoughts: Layered and complex, this tequila delivers a profile that’s both savory and refreshing. The interplay of butter, earth, and herbal notes makes for a distinctive sip - one of those fun, unique profiles that the Chato reliably brings to the table.
