Tapatio Tequila Blanco 1 Liter

 Aged 6 months in stainless steel. Modest agave, and black pepper, on the nose. The body is initially hot. Nice balance on agave, lemon, sweetness, and Chile powder. Touches of black pepper hit the back of the throat for the finish.

"Lots of character here, with raw, juicy agave notes overlaying a base of licorice, black pepper, and tar. Lively and pungent, it's surprisingly light-textured and has a clean, mineral finish. While it's quite sippable, it's clear they were going for maximum complexity and flavor impact rather than refinement or palate-coating richness."
