Aroma: I get some citrus with some fresh green notes and light eucalyptus. As it opens, I pick up some floral aromas a little jasmine, along with a clean, perfumed note that reminds me of fresh dryer sheets. Flavor: Cooked agave is present with light minerality. The profile is fairly straightforward, and a subtle sweetness begins to emerge Finish: Short-Medium. Pepper and anise appear first, followed by a lingering sweetness. I also found a medicinal, alcohol-forward, rubber-like note on the finish Overall: While this expression didn’t align with my palate, others who enjoy sweeter or more perfumed profiles may have a different experience. I’ve seen it at $35-$49

The most reliable agave awards, with blind judging, praised these tequilas.
Aroma: Toffee leads the nose with subtle floral notes and a touch of honey. Flavor: The palate opens with light sweetness but ultimately falls flat for me. I was hoping for a little more depth. Finish: Short. A touch of pepper appears before fading into a lingering sweetness. Overall: The nose showed some promise with its toffee, honey, and floral aromas, but the palate lacked the complexity and character I look for in a reposado. The short finish and lingering sweetness left me wanting more.
