It will definitely provides approach to overripe citrus and flippantly roasted agave (cooked in autoclaves) earlier than shifting again to that peculiar–however nonetheless not offensive–buttery word.
Minerality is ample and nice on the palate, and cooked peach, lemon balm and honey kind a complimentary supporting solid.

It is a tasty pour, good for sipping and introducing associates to tequila. I am positive it can do properly in cocktails, too, however at $70 per bottle, I would like way more agave complexity and depth.
