Delicate fragrances of pine needle and green olive greet the olfactory sense in the first two minutes of sniffing; additional air contact unleashes peppercorn, brine, fennel, lead pencil, and a faint hint of honey. Palate entry shows dry, astringent tastes of agave, hemp and resin followed at midpalate by integrated flavors of light caramel, cream, metal and milk chocolate. Finishes sweet, soft, and pleasingly vegetal.

Distilled from the Blue Agave plant, Tequila is a uniquely Mexico spirit. Of the five provinces it is made in, Jalisco produces the most significant share. To be legally classified as a tequila it must contain at least 51% Blue Agave, however producers with ambitions to create Tequila with the fullest flavour will use 100% and advertise the fact on the front label. From youngest to oldest, the categories blanco, reposado, and anjeo reflect the degree of ageing. Blanco, also known as silver, is un-aged. Reposados and Anejos are usually aged in ex-bourbon casks with the former receiving anything between 2 and 11 months and the latter between 1 and 5 years. Ageing beyond 5 years tends to result in the Tequila loosing its agave character.
