Reviewing the first pour out of the newly opened bottle:
The first time I brought the veladora to my nose I got pure ranch aroma. I felt like I’d just approached a big crowd of cows. Extremely earthy and pungent.After setting it down, I approached it again and noticed that it had changed significantly. Pomegranate, dark fruit, earthy brown petrichor, and a bitter (pomegranate pith?), long finish.
The flavor and textures were fairly significantly different from standard chichicapa, to me.
Caveat: i’d been drinking El Tesoro 70th anniversary prior to trying this, so that likely influenced my taste.
Additionally, I unwittingly only paid standard chichicapa price for this, which may also affect my review. Take it as you will.
