Tequila Chamucos Blanco

It smells like tequila, with lime, savory vegetal, and mildly sweet notes. The palate has a lot of mineral and is surprisingly sweet. It reminds me of Herradura Blanco, but it's more fruity and sweet. Pineapple and lime are there for sure and there is some spice but it is well under control. There's a little smoke going on and some earthy stewed agave, but those elements are mellower than expected. Oh, that might be Earth, not smoke. There are some vegetal elements like bell peppers. There are several elements in here, but they aren't in great balance. The flavor is good enough for mixing and it's borderline (quite borderline) sippable.

A Silver artisan Agave Spirit crafted by NOM 1414. It has a delicate birth with notes of agave, fruits, nuts, herbs & spices; while a tropical life adds notes of coconut & mango; that led to a balanced death of medium length with a touch of pepper. May 2017

I don't usually sip Blanco (or mix with it). This tequila was a little disappointing perhaps because it had not been aged. I plan to make cocktails with this now that I've tried it neat.

This one always gives me a distinct bell pepper on the tongue. It’s not bad and actually would be great in a Bloody Maria or with Ancho Reyes but on its own It’s not my favorite.

On the nares I get smoke, orange, pepper, agave. On the palate I get vanilla, a rich gravy?.. Swiss cheese. It is beyond me at this point for the palate, but overall, delicious

Smoke, rich gravy, aged cheese, strong agave, dust nose. Semi-sweet and vegetal and peppery on the palate.
