Talia Meek 4.0 February 2020

Smells of mint, green bell pepper, smoked sea salt, leather, and uncooked meat.

Lila Summers 3.5 November 2019

Experienced the maguey; it was pleasant and smooth, not overly smoky.

Why there's no score

We have 8 ratings for this bottle, and we don't publish an average until 30 people have weighed in.

A handful of ratings can average to anything, and a 4.8 built on three of them looks exactly like a 4.8 built on three hundred. Rather than print a number we can't stand behind, we leave it blank until the count is there. The critic score above comes from a panel rather than the crowd, so it stands on its own.
