I expected less after the previous reviews. Mild smoke on the nose, fresh a little bit vanilla. On the palate sweet agave and get vanilla. Nice sip, not complex.

Dirty. Faint milk that is one day too many.
Old lemon juice and old agave.
Not sure if I can finish it (edit: I “shot” the last sip). Mild lemon and agave. Muddled sugar water. Bland.

I tried the 46% ABV version with the opaque white bottle. Still 100% Agave Espadin. restrained smoke on the nose. Capsicum dominates the mid palate. Good for mixing, decent sipper.
