Nose: Caramel, vanilla, and oak come forward with a rounded sweetness, lifted by a touch of spice. Agave peeks through faintly, though quickly overshadowed by a strong wave of bell pepper. It carries an initial promise of balance between wood influence and vegetal character. Palate & Mouthfeel: The texture is thin yet slightly oily, carrying caramel, vanilla, and barrel spice in predictable fashion. Unfortunately, agave is absent here, leaving the sweetness unchecked. A cloying quality builds, edged with a bitter note that clashes rather than complements. Finish: Overly sweet and lingering with a faint leathery bitterness. The sweetness holds longer than the spice. Final Thoughts: This tequila opens with an inviting nose but for me, loses its way quickly. What could have been a balanced profile leans heavily into sweetness, with no real agave character to ground it.
