"The balance is great, nice kiss of oak sweetness. Barrel gives lots of butterscotch, maybe would be too much in tequila but this sweet note helps anchor the rest of the flavors. Grassy, earthy, white pepper, butterscotch, and a finish of pineapple rind. Phenomenal developing and ever-changing flavor. I need this one immediately. I wanted to drink it over and over again. Agave sings through while offering so much."

"Ooooh, cool. Smoke. Wild. Mezcal-like. Deep and full. This tastes like a competent mezcal. Big rising smoke dominates the front palate, fading to reveal wood ash, roasted agave, honeyed sweetness, white florals, dried grass. Quite good. This is a solid entry, a bottle I’d be happy with, particularly if I’m taking a chance on non-Mexico agave spirits."
