Another interesting budget friendly tequila. Their website is only in Spanish, which I like. It makes me feel like I'm drinking like the Mexicans.
NOM 1426 | An acetone edge and scathing ethyl greet first, eventually cut by bright and energetic bursts of green apple and unripe pineapple lifted by lime citrus and toasted nuttiness that wafts. On the palate, an unapologetic fermented acetone note bullies. The profile leans toward a fruity-citrus medley, almost like a frozen slushie, layered with nuttiness and prominent grassiness. Still, for me, the cooked agave remains subdued and hard to appreciate. The finish is citrus-driven, lingering with clinging fruit tones, leaving only a ghostly trace of agave in its wake.
