Rated at a festival. It was good but not great. Maybe a more serious setting might produce a little better results.
This is a light amber in the glass. The minerals from the tahona process come through in the aroma. I also get the cooked agave, herbal and oak. The flavor has cooked agave, black pepper, oak, minerals. There is a nice, medium finish. This is a pleasant sipper.
Lou gives a full video review of this traditionally-made tequila.
Tequila distillers are increasingly using the historic tahona wheel to crush agave and influence the flavor of their spirits.
Vessel: Glencairn Nose: Oak, Leather, Vanilla, Carmel, Almond, Butter, Hay Palate: Oak, Carmel, Apple, Chocolate, Butter Finish: Barrel Spice, Apple , Oak, Chocolate, Vanilla, Molasses Very soft and sweet all the way through. Has some complexity but is also approachable enough for someone who dabbles lightly.
