I mostly tried this tequila as part of a simple serve. The start was better than the finish: citrus edge first, then the aroma was more interesting than the sip. I wouldn't refuse it, but I have other favourites.

This tequila had a few things going for it. It opened with peppery finish, then moved into cooked-agave character without losing balance. This one earned a place on my repeat list.
