Nose: Agave leads with a vinous edge, lifted by citrus and a touch of vanilla cream. A streak of fresh mint cuts through, keeping it bright and aromatic. It’s layered - sweet, herbal, and slightly boozy all at once. Palate & Mouthfeel: Medium in body and slick across the tongue, it opens with a rush of salted butter that’s surprisingly inviting. Agave holds steady underneath, joined by flashes of citrus and warming cinnamon. As it settles, jalapeño and black pepper bring a kick that balances the richness and keeps things lively. Finish: The jalapeño heat lingers, tingling the tongue with a bit of alcohol and a cooling lift of mint on the back end. Final Thoughts: A bold, buttery profile that’s both indulgent and assertive. I enjoy the richness and spice interplay, though it’s the kind of pour I’d savor slowly - one glass feels just right.
Aroma of cooked agave, fruit, mineral, pepper. Mouthfeel is a little thin with generous alcohol. Drinks a bit hotter. Flavor: Mineral, cooked agave, cinnamon, pepper, vegetal, olive, earth. Finish: long with mineral, agave and vegetal notes.
Definitely preferred this over the regular proof blanco. Lots of minerality, hints of wet stone, bright citrus and cooked agave. A tasty finish that keeps you coming back for more. This is a really solid high proof blanco.
On the nose I got some floral notes with a hint of white pepper and lemon zest The palette had similar notes with a touch of sweetness and anise. Not overly complex. Finish is crisp and easy

Aroma: 22/25 Dense deep agave which is cooked but not fully. Still some raw agave characteristics. White pepper, red grape skins, and undeniably sweet. A dense sweetness. Maybe a hint of charcoal in the backend. Palate: 26/30 Very nice mouth feel and heft. Sweet cooked agave on the tip of my tongue. Buttery light vanilla soon follows. Fruit of cherries, dried mango, plum, and candied pineapple in the mid accompanied by a fading ethanol presence. Finish: 23/25 Very warming and sweet. A Kentucky hug feel but we can call it Mexico hug to keep it relatable for non bourbon fans. Long deep sweet agave finish. Value: 6/10 $80 in San Francisco at K&L. This is a quality still strength tequila for sure. Especially from a more craft like brand.
