GSN’s Remarks: Gentle agave nostril punctuated with a faint smokey haze. Very clean with an nearly creamy entry, vanilla being the dominant word. Altogether, it’s paying homage to a tequila cream liqueur, minus the precise cream. Fairly fascinating, very tasty and simply approachable. The physique is spherical and warming, and the end is kind of lengthy with some caramel notes on the finish. We actually loved this, regardless that it was not what we have been anticipating. This makes for a wonderful sipper, in addition to a terrific base for inventive tequila based mostly libations. Additionally of word is the bottle design, which is without doubt one of the most unusual and enticing items we’ve seen. GSN Score: A
