The Generala brings some agave nose and flavors up front, the higher abv kicked everything up a notch to the regular release.
The nose is vegetal with cooked agave. Green peppers, grassy, nice nose. On the palate, cooked agave, vegetal, light citrus, earthy. A bit of alcohol on the finish but bold and appealing. I can recommend this one.
NOSE: raw agave, vegetal, citrus, mineral, earth, lemon, lime, minty PALATE: cooked agave, mineral, vegetal, black pepper, cinnamon
Light nose, some agave and minerals, but didn't pick up much else, some light olive maybe Pallet is better, bold agave, sweet cotton candy, black pepper, some minerality, normal blanco notes, not overly complex, but overall tasty, does NOT drink anywhere near 55 ABV, I thought it was in 40s so this is clearly well made if that's the case
(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.
Nice pure clean agave. Awesome nose of bright citrus and agave. Nice punch of agave and pepper along with minerals. Easier to drink than you would thing for the 110 proof.
