sipped this outside the hotel in old town San Diego at the 2013 SOM with Ed. fun times
Super sweet aroma and palette. Very heavy on the vanilla. A hint of barrel sweetness and oak but overall, tastes and smells like a birthday cake.
Sweet? Yes. Has additives? For sure. Overpriced? 100%. But it’s pretty tasty and has a solid aroma. Lots of raisin, baking spices, caramel and brown sugar through out. Definitely not my preferred tequila profile but I gotta be honest, it wasn’t all that bad.
At El Agavero Restaurant: The aroma is soft with cooked agave, and vanilla, but with prominent ethyl sting while the taste is soft and not complex with cocoa, vanilla, citrus, slightly vegetal, a minute lick of unidentifiable fruit, brine and a alcohol taste slightly reminiscent of rubbing alcohol. A bit too sweet and easy to drink for me to enjoy regularly but overall I feel this would be up a novice tequila lovers alley in the beginning of their journey.
