Fairly new on the market. Right away it’s really buttery and smooth in the mouth. Then goes sweet on the finish. A great new taste from 1146.

Bottle: Batch 1 - Approximate Brix 24.5, 42.5% ABV, LOTE 014AB22 Appearance: Clear Nose: Cooked and raw agave, citrus, grapefruit, lemon, black pepper, herbal, lemongrass, parsley, minerality, wet cement, limestone, yeast/dough, lactic, peppermint, brine/salinity, and cinnamon…I immediately had to put a pinky out Palate: Cooked and raw agave, brine/salinity, minerality, wet cement, butter, jalapeño, alcohol, cinnamon, black and white pepper, citrus, grapefruit, pineapple, lactic, herbal, and peppermint…I need to find my caviar Finish: Black and white pepper, jalapeño, butter, alcohol, peppermint, brine/salinity, and lactic…long and warming with an oily viscosity Overall: My bottle says both “100% Agave Blanco Tequila” on the front and “BOTTLED IN MEXICO” on the back, which doesn’t align with the Matchmaker Insider Tip information. Nevertheless, I really liked this pour. The best way I can describe this top to bottom is “refined,” kind of like a charcuterie board among mere Lunchables. It’s easy to drink, but has a great bite and, for $36 a bottle, I’ll be going back for more.

Nose: cooked agave, minerals, vegetal, and black pepper Flavor: agave sweetness, earthy, black pepper, vegetal and some alcohol Finish: medium with pepper spice
