Aroma is all black pepper and dirt with a hint of citrus. Very strange flavor that begins with almost nothing then evolves to a sweet, plastic-y phase and eventually some spice. After all the talk of how horrible it is I’m mostly surprised by how there is practically nothing in the flavor. Finish is very short. I would call this the incredible disappearing tequila. Even if you put the price aside (which is kind of hard to do because it is high) this is just not good tequila. Or, is it really tequila at all. So many better things to do with your money. And, if someone says the pepita bottle makes a great decanter, you can find really nice decanters for a lot less money too. 2026-04-18

sample from andy yang agave swappera the nose wasn't horrible, but the taste is not good. it has a strange flavor profile and aftertaste that doesn't seem natural, and it's way overpriced

Plastic, sweet aroma, no real agave notes, sweetness over powers everything else, funky after taste. The price is crazy

Aroma of black pepper and anise... where is the agave. Flavor of anise and medicinal. Not much of a finish.

Not much agave in the aroma or mouth… I’m getting pads of black pepper and citrus …. Some medicinal and Minerality ….. gets better as it sits … slight caramel flavors comes through with licorice

Like the blanco, it’s an interesting drink. A stretch to call it tequila and you can definitely pick up the fake sugary flavor.

Botella Numero: 6232 Lote Numero: 71 Fetch’s: 08-12-2022 While a very nice gift, it’s first nose out of the bottle definitely spoke of a “medicinal” effect which after I looked up the $350 price tag was surprised; after a bit of air the agave was present from the bottom of the glass; the alcohol (medicine?) still was present in the glass center; floral, cinnamon, hot peppers, brown sugar were all present. Taste: there’s a “velvet softness” that from my readings suggests additives? Not a lot of agave nor the barrel I’m used to tasting in a Joven; cut grass, and hot pepper. The finish definitely has heat while at the same time a smooth side. I’ll come back to this bottle to see what some open time does for it.

very smooth!

Smokey, smooth

nose is lightly floral with the hint of freshly cleaned laundry. interesting. flavor is similar but light. smoothish. unusual finish. lightly rough with lingering agave.

Very similar the the blanco version.

Smoky

I genuinely enjoy the flavor, but would never spend that much on a bottle of tequila made that poorly. I much enjoy something with more complexity. this does have a uniqueness about it, where it lacks complexity.

Aroma Fruit,pepper.Strange chemical taste.Can not tell it is tequila.Finish is as bad as it tastes.

Biggest rip off in tequila out there. Horrible diffused crap.

Strong pepper taste... not too many sweet flavours. Strong alcohol smell but not a bad finish.

Anis, pepper, grass on nose. grapefruit, honey suckle on palate.with citrus on the finish.

Anise - pear -

Compliments of Terry and Beverly!

Vanilla, orange, Café au lait (coffee w/ cream), caramel. Smooth approach, mild nose, mild finish. Not much bite or pepper. Fantastic!
