Update: I tried to be open about the sweetness but after a few nights and a few side by side comparisons, my rating changed from 80 to current. Aroma is with pronounced anise, distinct sweetness indicative of this NOM, vanilla, scathing ethyl, and a lift of citrus. Palate: Peppermint and anise lead the entry, followed by a savory snap of salinity. Kiwi–lemon citrus brightens the mid-palate while plum and subtle berry add variety. A measured crack of pepper provides challenge without overwhelming the fruit, while the same constant overt sweetness, which is indicative of this NOM, stands out. Finish: Medium in length, with clinging cooked agave, saline, and pepper.
Agave on the nose with citrus and earth. I get vanilla, herbal and butter. I get some fruit, maybe banana. On the palate, sweet agave, vanilla and black pepper. I get earthy notes with minerals and vegetal tones. It is a bit grassy. Definitely some alcohol. This is a decent tequila but nothing special.
Vessel: Chisholm Trail Jarrito Nose: Vanilla Extract, Oak, Floral, Smoke, Cinnamon Body: Light-Bodied Palate: Smoke, Oak, Honey, Citrus, baking spices Finish: Artificial Orange, Carmel, Black Pepper, Smoke I felt like this lacked a depth for me. The vanilla was very strong and had a alcohol aroma on the back end. I got robust spices and an artificial orange taste on the finish.
This one has a nice floral nose that becomes mineral and vegetal. It’s is cool how it changes. Nice agave flavors with citrus and mineral hit. It’s a good sipper. The finish is short with a little spice. Very good!
Very sweet with strong overtones of anise and agave. Alcohol overpowers at first but calms down if you let it open up
Nose: Agave, citrus, black pepper, vegetal notes, and some sott of overpowering sweetness Mouthfeel: Extremely light bodied, very thin, almost like water Flavor/Finish: Agave, Heavy Anise, Lime, and an uncanny sweetness that is not dissimilar to Stevia.. I have to be honest. I am not a fan of this one at all. The sweetness is just overpowering. I expected more from this spirit.
