(AgaveSwappers) Rating #300 The aroma opens with potent petrichor and cooked agave’s sweet potato essence, rounded by light butter, lemon citrus, a hint of pine, and a fleetingly sweet floral note. On the palate, delicious cooked agave takes the lead simultaneously with powerfully potent petrichor. Tandem flavors of light lemon citrus, tangy fruit, a trace of pine, and a touch of cocoa present. A warming roasted walnut and a faint, yet distinct, perfumed floral note emerge toward the back. The finish is subtle, with lingering cocoa powder, a touch of brine, soft spice, and an earthy underpinning.
2oz sample- Agave Swappers- Thank you Keith! The nose is green agave and bright citrus lime zest. There’s some alcohol and a mix of dry minerals and brine. I taste some vegetal pine and green agave with some slight chalk before a vegetal green pepper / jalapeño pepper finish. It’s flavorful but slightly thin on the palate. 42 OTT
Nice 1414 agave nose. I do enjoy this profile. Palate is subtle with some pepper but has a nice long pepper finish. I’m happy with this. Sample provided by Agave Swappers for review
1414 bliss. Thanks Agave Swappers!
Roast agave and some mint on the nose, this has a nice bite on entry with pepper, a bit of ethanol and natural agave sweetness. A short finish holds this back some in the final score for me, else it would be close to 90. My thanks to Matt Cavanaugh for providing the sample to taste. Matt is the creator and Admin of Agave Swappers, a Facebook group worth checking out. The group is a trading place for samples of current and highly regarded new tequilas.

Sample from Matt Cavanaugh from the Agave Swappers group. Nice minty, citrus, agave aroma. Silky and flavorful with a medium warm bite. I like that the mint stays present all the way through. The finish is a bit quick, but it’s quite enjoyable. I’ll be on the lookout for a full bottle. Thanks Matt!
