Carlos Camarena describes this over-proof Tequila as his “game changer” and when you taste it you can sense why. A big, rich and surprisingly complex spirit, especially considering that it is fresh from the still. The extra strength over the blanco allows the flavors to sing.
Nose of sweet and savory peppers - roasted capsicum and non-spicy padron. There is spiciness, but it comes from white pepper, the traditional agave hit, and is balanced by an underlying sweetness, which is almost white chocolate like. On the palate it is thick and oily, with a spicy kick to start – black pepper and chilli. With that comes sweet, roasted agave, cinnamon toast (with singed edges) and a surprisingly rich grape and sultana fruitiness. On the finish the peppers from the nose return, turning from sweet to dry.
