This is a tequila from NOM 1579. It was be extracted with a Tahona, using well water and rain water and is 2x distilled on a copper pot and aged in ex-bourbon barrels with no additives.

Palate: Light mouthfeel. Vegetalness, vanilla, campfire smoke, slight green apple, mango

Rating: 5/10

Guess: 40%, aged 1-2 years in ex-bourbon barrels.

Reveal: Pasote Añejo

I am not too surprised but this is just my 2nd review of a tequila. Overall, its just fine for me. It feels just a tad too simple and too proofed down. 43-46% would help this really shine I think.
