Neat. Straw colored.. oddly lighter than the Reposado. Aroma is light with citrus, fruity agave, hints of charred oak. Taste is clean and fruity. Bright agave dominates, A little bit of charred oak, slight vanilla, black pepper, hints of stone fruits..cherry, plum, lychee and floral notes. Finish is nice. slightly sweet and tart with some fruit notes Overall a very delicious drink. In a blind, I probably would have called it a Reposado based on the look and subdued oak/vanilla profile. The reposado in this line is an entirely different beast.. Much sweeter and heavy with the vanilla that overpowers the agave. I will likely purchase the blanco and anejo in the future. passing over the repo.

Agave, caramel, oak, and lots of alcohol on the nose. Taste is very mild. Minimal alcohol, vanilla, oak, cherry, pepper, and caramel. The viscosity is more than you would think by just tasting it. Watch the side of the glass and admire how it slowly travels down the side of the glass.
Nose: agave, cinnamon, baking spice Palate: Sweet on the palate, caramel, citrus, sugar with a lasting note of agave. Overall: would drink this neat or on the rocks. Sweet and caramel dominant.
For the price its outstanding. highly recommend to try
Little burn with vanilla
