Los Cabos Gold

I’ve had some bad tequila, but this might be the worst. Very pale. On the nose: faint agave, concrete minerality, harsh chemical astringency, club soda, metal, metal polish, and surprisingly a faint touch of vanilla. On the palate: more of the same. It’s harsh, mineral, chemical, etc. and slightly sweet. Now I understand what the Joker must have tasted like falling into chemicals. I bought it for a party to make a batch of margaritas, and I suppose it was okay for that, but I didn’t try them. But for most people who don’t know or care, at $9.99 this was a good deal. A friend, please Venmo me $10 and I’ll get one for you.

Smells like cooked asparagus. Model cement. Heated aluminum near a desert bonfire. The taste takes a moment to develop from that. A harsh burn distracts from the off-flavors until they return in the finish.

Acceptable, quite smooth. Minimal burn upon swallowing.
