Vessel: Glencairn Nose: Black Pepper, Citrus, Earth, Papaya, Melon, Agave Palate: Cream Soda, Marshmallow Root, Agave Black Pepper Finish: Earth, Limestone, Honey, Cream Soda, I can't really say anything bad about this one. It's got character from start to finish that doesn't seem to let up. The nose gives off sweeter, earthier, fruitier vibes, where as the palate and finish give off sweeter and slightly herbal vibes. The way many of us often review tequilas sheds light on 3 stages (Nose, Palate/Taste, Finish); this feels like 2-2.5 stages because the palate and the finish remain so true to each other, outside of a couple of very minor nuances; it feels like they are almost one piece of the experience. Cachasol doesn't try to be overly complex. It knows exactly what it is and it does it well. This may not be the profile I reach for everytime, but I would be particularly remiss if I didn't speak on its boldness, and quality. Definitely recommended to anyone who prefers a sweet and earthy profile!
