Casamigos Blanco Tequila

ABV: 40%
 
Nose: 
The nose is creamy, lifted by warm, earthy agave, chilli spice, black peppercorn and vanilla pod notes. It's also pretty green with a mossy character, perhaps damp leaves and freshly cut grass. Menthol comes through too, along with hints of herbal cough sweets – think Ricola. There's also a sweetness, with suggestions of lemon pith and fresh apple. We also picked found a minerality reminiscent of wet stones and rocket leaves.
 
Palate: 
Initially there was quite a ‘heavy’, oily mouthfeel, and there's a lot more sweetness than you’d expect: vanilla and hints of lemon meringue pie, with whispers of oak influence. The greenness comes through too, with notes of tomato leaf, basil, and fresh mint. Absolutely delicious – very easy to sip and would mix fabulously too.
 
Finish: 
Long and luscious. The peppery agave goes on and on, flanked by puffs of icing sugar.
