It’s a bit unfortunate when something doesn’t taste like it smells. This comes up often in spiced rums smelling like a delicious bevy of spices only to taste like sugar – but sadly it’s true here as well. On the whole a tequila that has some smoky aspects to it without it being an Anejo and mellowed out sounds enticing. However the result here is a more on the palm sugary side and is above all – middle of the road. Mixed or straight it simply just does nothing great.
