Had a small sample. Was slightly bitter and very herbal with citrus notes. Will revist if an opportunity arises.

On the nose: I’m getting bright citrus right up front — pineapple, grapefruit, lime, and a hint of white flowers. There’s this freshness that feels very Tequila Valley — earthy, clean, and floral. On the palate: Sweet cooked agave right away, with layers of lemongrass, herbal spice, and that peppery tingle that lingers just long enough. It’s silky, not hot Finish: Medium-long, clean, and crisp — with just a little citrus zest at the end.

Very heavy barrel influence, I think a lot of the agave is lost. But good barrel notes none the less - oak, Carmel, vanilla, spices.

Interesting flavor that is oak, caramel, agave, and surprisingly floral.

Cooked agave forward. A little herbal and vegetal. Very floral. Good minerality. Slightly alcohol finish.
