Nose- Bright green agave, minerals, grass, brine, orange citrus, earth. Palate- Agave, vegital notes, citrus pepper, herbal Finish is light with long agave notes
Nose: Agave, dry cedary wood, almond, molasses, pear, vanilla. There’s a funky, almost rummy sweetness tucked into the fruit- likely a result of the rum and champagne yeast combo layered with French oak. Palate & Mouthfeel: Medium slick mouthfeel. Sweet cooked agave up front, followed by barrel oak and soft vanilla. Notes of pralines & cream build into jalapeño, cinnamon, and a touch of orange peel. More savory and grounded than the nose suggests, in a way that adds depth. Finish: Creamy, with a lingering mix of barrel spice and agave. Final Thoughts: Very well balanced throughout. The nose leans funky/sweet while the palate reins things in with warmth and structure. That yeast and oak combo gives it character without tipping into novelty. The finish is smooth and satisfying, closing the loop nicely.
Very unique, lots of cinnamon, and spice, barrel notes here for sure. Surprisingly better than I expected
Nose: Cinnamon, vanilla, grass, and a tart sweetness that leans toward apple or grape. Notes of maple syrup and rich baking spices round it out. Palate & Mouthfeel: Cooked agave sits beneath a bold wave of cinnamon apple pie. The baking spice intensity is no joke - nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, anise, and vanilla all show up in force. Caramel and a touch of barrel wood come in behind. Finish: Sweet at first, but the spice mix pushes it toward a slightly bitter close. Final Thoughts: This is well executed and clearly intentional, but for me it’s more of a one glass conversation piece than a go-to pour. The barrel influence dominates a bit too much to keep me coming back regularly - but I’d happily share it with a curious friend. It’s fun, it’s bold, and definitely not boring.
High-proof tequilas, once only for hardcore drinkers, are now being released at a steady pace. Why?
Baking spice all over the place here….smells like Xmas cookies and nutmeg with roasted agave. Flavour is very cinnamon forward, a bit too much if I’m being critical, but gives way to a more traditional roasted agave profile. This is a fun curiosity Tequila, I applaud the step away from the ordinary.
