The flavor is rather mild with a noticeable but surprisingly low alcohol presence. An herbal quality emerges if you wait, but it's subtle enough to blend with the alcohol, giving a faint rubbing alcohol note. It's somewhat like T1 Reposado mixed with Chopin Wheat Vodka at a lower proof. Agave is present with the slightest hints of lime and green olives alongside some lasting mint. Eventually, a touch of sweetness can be detected. The flavor is balanced but not very rich. If you concentrate, there's a lot happening. Otherwise, it's quite underwhelming. It's not bad, just not exciting. It's mostly technically impressive. I do wish the finish had less spice, though (it's an interesting blend of spicy and smooth). The lengthy finish is clean with a slight numbing sensation. Honestly, it seems mostly like an excellent mixer. I'd be content sipping it but would never adore it. Note: this review downplays the sweetness.

It's genuinely herbal and delicious. Quite strong with cooked agave, spearmint, whispers of smoke, some earthiness, and a little sharp end. I'd rate it about a 90.
