After tasting mezcals, bacanora's, and sotols lately, I tasted a similar smokey taste here. Not sure if I wanted that here in my tequila. It might be overcooking of the pina's, the yeast used in fermentation, or the profile they wanted. The nose had sweet, floral, alcohol, vegetal, peppery and spicy aromas. Initial taste was light oil, smokey and hot, into a spicy/peppery, hot, bold and smokey body taste.The finish was hot and spicy but ended quickly. I could see how some may like this somewhat complex taste. Long Island Lou
