(Agave Swappers) The aroma is subtle and grounded with cooked agave’s sweet prune essence, yeast, earth, and a touch of vegetal freshness with light pepper. Pleasant, though unremarkable, like Clark Kent in a glass. But the palate? That’s where the cape comes on. Bold cooked agave takes the lead, gripping the tongue with presence. Pepper, lime citrus, cinnamon, soft anise, and vegetal notes mingle with minerality and a saline thread, creating an expressive profile. The finish echoes a dry white wine, slightly bitter, tinged with tangy fruit, and marked by a clean, lasting freshness. Understated on the nose, but memorable in taste.

Sample from Matt through Agave Swappers. Thanks Matt! This is a little on the darker side for what I usually go for but it sure has a lot of character. Nothing offensive about it, just different, and a welcome change up from the lane I tend to stay in. Wish I had more.

This has a somewhat thick agave nose with nice aromatics carried by 45% ABV. A more finished product than the Emerald Spear which is being tasted side x side with this, there is a nice natural sweetness along with a tongue full of ethanol from the higher ABV. Thanks to agave swappers and Matt C for the sample.

On the nose: Toasted marshmallow, nuttiness, celery, earth On the pallet: Sweet cooked agave, toasted marshmallow, mint, earthiness, I’m getting heavyt toasted marshmallow on the nose. But let me tell you- that’s not a bad thing. I happen to love that profile. Like the G4 108 XM. It’s delicious! It’s a little thin for me. Could use more body. It leaves the pallet a little bitter. Overall, for $50. I’d be happy to have this bottle on my shelf. And I love the branding and bottle! I got this sample from Matt at Agave Swappers! Thanks Matt!!!!

Reviewing a sample I received through Agave Swappers: Nose: Sweet agave, honey, mint, earth, and a touch of citrus. Bright and clean with just enough depth to keep it interesting. Palate & Mouthfeel: Medium but slightly watery mouthfeel. Opens with a big agave punch, sweet but not cloying - followed by cinnamon, vegetal notes, and a citrus pop. White pepper shows up late with a slow, steady spice buildup. Finish: Sweet agave and cinnamon linger nicely. Not overly long, but satisfying. Final Thoughts: A little thin, but the palate delivers. Great balance of sweetness and spice with enough brightness to keep it lively. At $50 or under per liter for a 90 proof, it’s an easy buy. At $70, which I’ve seen some places list for - I’d pass. The flavor’s still there, but value starts to slip.
